Pros

As opposed to people's perceptions, Amazon corporate culture and managers respect your family and personal needs. I was never asked or expected to work outside my scheduled work hours. Regarding opportunities to take ownership, Amazon has so many projects and initiatives going on that managers will gladly let you take the lead and own one.

Cons

Amazon corporate recruits straight from college, with no prior work experience. As a result, many employees have only worked at Amazon. This becomes problematic when proposing to try workflows, tools or frameworks that are not used at Amazon.

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.
