Pros

Amazon is an exceptionally good place to grow as an engineer. You will be given interesting work and excellent pay. Work life balance has a reputation of being "hit or miss" at the company (mind has been good) so that's something to watch out for. Regardless after a few years at Amazon you will come out a far more skilled individual and companies will be lining up to hire you.

Cons

Basic benefits Can be stressful at times

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.
