      Pros

      Amazon has loads of good points. i.e compensation compared to other companies and getting to see lots of systems.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy rules this company. Managers easily can set you up for failure because of political reasons. They claim to be a day-1 company but it's no longer true.

      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.
