Pros

able to work freely with limited constraints. Truly able to develop one's skillset and understanding of the role in whatever way is best for the employee.

Cons

see pros. sometimes no guidance only causes more confusion. Relying on past work experience won't always put you on the right path at 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.
