Pros

I joined directly from the university as an SDE I. Amazon maintains really high bar for all the things they do. I got thrown into those pool of people and you eventually become like that. -No micro management -flexibly work hours -can take vacation any time (at least in my team) -can move to other internal teams very easily. Plenty of oportunities there. - work on some rare problems that no other company in the world is working on.

Cons

-lot of stress -oncall issues. -pay changes only ones a year. If you do well for 6 months there is no reward for 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.
