Pros

- Many opportunities for growth in various areas. However, the actual growth rate is lower than I would like due to a handful of slow processes and bad internal tooling that offers little transferable knowledge. - Interesting projects - Decent total compensation (perhaps weighted too heavily due to recent market valuation exploding in Amazon's favor)

Cons

- Slowly adapting work culture - Inconsistent quality and procedural standards across teams in same org

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.
