Pros

I've worked at Amazon for several years. Pros are: - the people are wicked smart - the environment does keep changing (this is a preference, but I would much rather work in a continually changing environment than one where things stay the same) - the leadership principles are still the currency of discussion

Cons

Things that are less great are: - the comp has started to slow down as the company becomes really large - the promotion opportunities are much rarer because there are many candidates at every role/level - there's a formality in the communications that feels Day 2

Pros

Good pay Clean facilities Safe environment

Cons

Even though I had a bachelor's, I was never considered for management position. Hopefully you live nearby or tolls across the bridge will kill your income.

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.
