      Pros

      Learn about web operations and customer centric organization. Teams are self-organized.

      Cons

      Imbalance between work vs salary and life. The technologies used internally are the same as those used everywhere else. There is no need to come to Amazon to learn them. None is free of operations and night and weekends on-call. People is usually exhausted after 1-2 years of overwork

      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.
