Pros

Amazon was created by the visionary Jeff Bezos. Thank you for the brand name you created. That is the only pro.

Cons

Food in the cafeteria is pathetic. A company which focuses a lot on customer experience failed to give the hard working employees, the experience they deserve. There is no work-life balance. You will be called in any shift any day. Salary structure is not justified. At some point your juniors will suddenly be paid more than you irrespective of your experience.

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.
