Pros

Salary is better than most Data driven company Great people to work with

Cons

Amazon has grown a lot over the past 5 to 10 years. It is not the same place it used to be. The leadership principles which guide the company are not as prevalent and as well understood as they used to be, thus not as useful as they used to be. There is a lot of pressure to deliver and velocity is expected to increase over time.

Pros

Work-life balance if you find the right executive to support. Lots of room for growth and exploring opportunities within the company

Cons

It's not really a con in my opinion, but it might be to you if you aren't up for it. You have to work hard and do a great job. Poor performers stick out like a sore thumb.

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.
