Pros

Amazon is an incredible place to work and presents a constant set of challenges for me. I see my career growing exponentially while I am here and I feel very privileged to be here. The distributed nature of the Company makes each team I have worked for feel extremely different and this fact also means that individuals have a great deal of power in shaping their teams culture and values.

Cons

The head office is located in Seattle which has caused a significant amount of inequality in this city. Amazon offers employment in many cities around the world but more should be done in Seattle to ensure the city remains relevant to everyone and not just those privileged enough to work for Amazon.

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.
