      Happy working there - Software Development Engineer Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      There is no micromanaging on my team, and I'm free to make whatever corrections I deem are necessary. If I see a problem and decide it needs fixing there is nothing in my way, and I enjoy this freedom.

      Cons

      On-call duty can be painful at times. Essentially house arrest for a week at a time once every two months can be frustrating. This can vary greatly from team to team, however my team is particularly bad.

      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.
