Pros

The culture at Amazon is amazing. I've never known a company so focused on doing the right thing for the customer as Amazon. Amazon seems to hire with a strong onus towards ownership, which ensures its employees never say "that's not my job." Amazon's environment promotes innovation and fosters creativity with a culture that embraces failure and learns from it.

Cons

Strong Ownership can lead to teams taking on more work than they can handle, leading to pressure to perform and over-work. This means it's imperative to know when to say "No."

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.
