Pros

I worked within the natural language understanding group at Alexa. The pay was great, and I got to work with really great people.

Cons

The problem space was extremely ambiguous, and sometimes it felt like we were just throwing lots of things at the wall to see what would stick.

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.
