Pros

Interesting work, good teammates, decent work life balance.

Cons

Experience is very team dependent. Oncall. Amazon corporate sees most employees as disposable, they're very secretive about pay ranges so that they can undervalue employees that have been there a while. They'd rather under pay people and take the risk that people leave than pay people what they're worth.

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.
