Pros

Lots of room for growth, learning and advancement.

Cons

There is little consideration for people's personal lives, and the impact that their work may have on their personal life. Transportation pass is a really good benefit, but really the only benefit outside of basic medical/dental/401k.

Pros

Amazon offers lots of autonomy, flexibility in schedule and working from home. Also, you can bring your dog to work.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to get results, no matter what. Data is everything - which is ok, but the data must be rational and reasonable. Some groups work harder than others, but don't expect a lot of help from your teammates or boss - you need to perform on your own.
