Pros

Employees are encouraged to demonstrate leadership skills at any job level. Encourages knowledge sharing, changing of job roles and internal transfers. Amazon maintains internal wiki, which contains lots of information, it is useful during initial learning curve for new employees

Cons

Amazon is fast paced, so documentation is not thorough for some components. Lots of knowledge would come from experience using different tools or discussing with senior peers.

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.
