      Pros

      - Great quality of work (esp. within AWS) - Surrounded by very smart engineers - Management is very receptive to ideas and feedback - Super customer obsessed - Strong company culture. People really believe in company's core values which makes for an inspired work environment - Highly data driven company - No politics BS

      Cons

      - Average pay and benefits. Amazon is lagging behind other companies in it's class (Facebook, Google, MS, etc.) - Slow promotions in some parts of the company - On call rotation can be bad at times (although it depends on the team).

      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.
