      Pros

      Truly a start up. Although a big company Amazon still enjoys a start up environment, you will quickly get responsibility over diverse areas and will have a unique learning opportunity

      Cons

      Hectic. Sink or swim. As said, Amazon is truly a startup. But that doesn't really work well for a company that size. There is significant lack of structure and support. Learning is hard as the communications between teams are not good. Heavily micromanaged. This trickles down directly from the CEO. Jeff, trusts no one and knows better then everyone, and as a result most managers act the same.

      Pros

      Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

      Cons

      Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

      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.
