Pros

I was an intern here for six months, and being surrounded by people from places like Stanford, Booth and Ivy League schools was a bit daunting at first, but you quickly learn that this company is not hierarchical at all. On the contrary, it's a launchpad for anyone hungry to grow in responsibility and experience, since there is always opportunity lying around just waiting to be seized.

Cons

Finding time on people's calendars can be difficult, but the people are super helpful if you are able to meet with them. Amazon will take as much of your time as you give them, however, and oftentimes more, making work-life balance difficult to achieve for those with families, even with the work-from-hope option that's available.

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.
