      Pros

      - Amazon knows how to do business - Freedom in decisions - Disciplined, data-driven approach to everything - The best place to learn

      Cons

      - On-Call - Bad work-life balance - SDEs do development, deployment, support, on-call -- great chance that you hate at least one of those

      Pros

      Great room for growth, amazing learning opportunities for early career

      Cons

      Problems don't get fixed quickly. Red tape, but you can work through it.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
