Pros

The best thing about working at Amazon is getting to work on extremely difficult problems with incredibly brilliant people. The environment encourages proactive people and empowers you to change the things you think are broken.

Cons

Hard work is hard work, and difficult problems are difficult. Oncall is a big issue for most engineers at Amazon. The oncall burden varies by team. The competency of management can also vary widely by team. The good ones are exceptional, but the bad ones are pretty bad.

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.
