Pros

If you want to be a part of a high performance startup team without the uncertainties of a typical startup, Amazon is the place. At Amazon, innovation towards simplification and automation comes naturally and you are encouraged to think like a true leader and an entrepreneur. You feel like this is really YOUR business and YOU really ought to be driving it.

Cons

There are some concerns on work-life balance especially if you are on-call

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.
