      Pros

      You can get to work at some cutting edge stuff -- if you manage to find a good team. At its best, Amazon can be a great place to work.

      Cons

      Work/life balance can be off in certain orgs within Amazon. It really depends where you end up. In some orgs, many junior, and not so junior, engineers are spending years supporting critical legacy systems, and hardly doing any new development.

      Pros

      I got paid weekly, there was a $2 premium for night shifts.

      Cons

      The only con was the 2 hour commute to and from work.

      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.
