      Pros

      Honestly, I read a lot of reviews about how Amazon is hard to work at and how Managers and coworkers can be be hard to work with. Honestly I got a totally different experience. Everyone was really helpful. Manager was always kind and considerate. Even with projects and on-call they were very considerate about trying to ease me into everything and not rushing anything onto me. Amazon can be peculiar is certain things, but I think its for the better.

      Cons

      Havent face any cons yet, but Ive been here for 3 months only. The 401K isn't the best. But they compensate pretty well otherwise.

      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.
