Pros

Amazon is a large company; many opportunities to dive into issues that impact a large collection of customers. There are a lot of opportunities to move between business units (e.g. Amazon, AWS, Audible, PillPack, etc...). The company is laser focused on its leadership principles. If you haven't had a chance, please take a look. It is possible for employees to be able to switch careers given the broad business categories.

Cons

Seattle is a great place to work in Amazon. Some of the small sites do not have the same great amenities; however they are still nice places to work. There are lot of opportunities to travel to Seattle and HQ2 should provide some parity to the East Coast.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
