      Pros

      Amazon.com does give stock option or stock rewards very generously as a singing bonus offer, and even entry level engineer will get some substantial amount.

      Cons

      Almost every SDE has to carry a pager and there is an on-call rotation for every team. Not good if you have a family.

      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.
