Pros

- good salary - good facilities and resources

Cons

- no science experience, just development work, SDE - my publication record went down at Amazon, not passing as a researcher anymore, it was a step down for my career - promotions are horrifically hard to get, don't even try it if you still want to have a life outside the office

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.
