      Pros

      Lots to learn Lots of new technologies to learn Amazon internal tools are really good. It makes you more productive. The wiki pages are well written and well maintained. You can find any information on your own. Full ownership of projects (which really means more work)

      Cons

      Work life balance is definitely missing. You can easily expect 50 - 60 hours work week There is a lot of micro management. I have coined a new term - nano management for this

      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.
