Pros

Amazon is a place where people go to build their career, climb the ladder, and push each other relentlessly. If you want to improve your skillset, you'll do so here.

Cons

There is no positive feedback, no pat on the back. Perfection is expected, but never actually achievable. You will never be good enough here. Predominant culture is fear-based, using intimidation and subtle forms of humiliation to enforce processes and drive workers tirelessly.

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.
