- Good learning experience. SInce you work more you learn more. - Good pay. - Growth for those who are willing to work a lot.

Cons

- No work-life balance. - To get a promotion you will need to work a lot as everyone is competing for it and everyone is working more at amazon. - If you are someone who likes to have some life apart from office , then amazon is not the place for you.

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.
