Pros

Very smart people. Cool problems to go solve for the ecommerce retail products.

Cons

There are many people that will do anything to get the limelight. Save the day individual contributors always looking for that pat on the back to feed their egos. Not a pro female, collaborative environment above a certain level. Consensus building is a skill that is desperately needed in large corporations, but looked upon as weakness 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.
