Pros

Some of the best minds you will meet work here... It is very face paced and demanding. The pay is good and job can often feel rewarding

Cons

Sometimes too face paced where it becomes unorganized. NO work life balance. Prepare to work long hours, extra days and work from home with no sympathy given and family life out of order. Because of this it is a higher than normal attrition rate at all Fulfillment centers

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.
