Pros

Friends and benefits. Lots of overtime

Cons

No one really cares. You can be fired for perception, not if you actually did anything wrong. This is what they told me. ERC & amazon ethics line is a false front. They have them so employees think they have some sort of recourse to avoid unions. There Immoral and unethical.I was Fired days after revealing my medical diagnosis to the site Leader. I was terminated they said for threatening a coworker. They Lied about evidence and witnesses. I received unemployment, not possible for my so called violation. They said you dont even have to do what your accused of to be fired, people just have to perceive you did it.I was there 3 years and believed there lies. It was by design , firing people before there stocks vest. No Justice.

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.
