Pros

As a manager at Amazon you will have tons of responsibility and leeway to execute on your goals while empowering incredibly smart engineers to do amazing things.

Cons

You will be asked to do a lot without clear guardrails. This autonomy can be dangerous if you aren't prepared. Also at a company with Amazon scale you can't do much as a single team, and relationships are crucial to delvering the kinds of large-scale initiatives you will need to be successful.

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.
