Pros

Lots of exciting project to work with ranging from Cloud Computing to all aspects of e-commence. Live in Amazon.com is never boring.

Cons

Except for teams working on Cloud Computing, most teams working on traditional e-commerce are project driven and led by former PMs so the upside for SDEs to become managers is limited.

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.
