Pros

so bezos is trying to concquer the retail world literally and it spread to tech, if youre ok with a "challenge" as corporate puts it which means over worked with little directio/organization/leadership then definitely apply to amazon theres literally little to no training they emphasize being a self starter and thats the reason

Cons

pay! benefits like I've never seen amazon is a gold star on your resume and its opens doors just saying you work for amazon, a lot of amazing people work there and even tho the diversity and inclusion rave isn't authentic amazon makes an honest effort to give every demo their safe space

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.
