Pros

Compensation. They pay well and its looks great on your resume. But they dont pay overtime and EVERY person works 55-60 hour weeks at Amazon. They get their money's worth.

Cons

NO work life balance. Too stressful and one person does the work of 6 people. Most managers have not undergone any kind of training and just happen to be manager because they have been working there for a few years. They do not know how to manage people and their employees. Al they ever do is point out the negative things and never encourage and say go job for anything to anyone.

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.
