Pros

At Amazon, you have tons of opportunity, are well compensated. Strong people who thrive in this type of environment can do very very well.

Cons

Amazon runs 24/7, and work/life balance can be very challenging, especially with young families. It can also be a pretty brutal organization in terms of expectations and feedback, especially true in such a fast growing organization that isn't always so organized due to so many people.

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.
