Pros

Amazon provides excellent starting salaries to interns and recent college grads. The benefits and moving packages are excellent and they help you get settled in. The atmosphere is comfortable. While you are only one person in a large company you will find it easy to meet others and they do a good job of helping you feel like part of the team.

Cons

The excellent starting pay may not increase as much as you would like it too after working there for a while. If your team is small expect to be on call a lot and when you are on call expect there to be a lot of problems and little sleep.

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.
