Pros

Opportunity to participate in great projects and always challenge yourself to work and compete harder.

Cons

I was hired fully remote and I was expected to work virtual forever. I accepted an offer from Amazon on that basis. I left my previous job, which was in my current city, only to be told by Amazon after a year to relocate for an in-office role in Seattle or voluntarily resign. Ended up being forced to eventually resign as I was unable to relocate. I was a top performer in my team.

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.
