Pros

The opportunity to be mentored by the best engineers in the world. Solving big, interesting problems at unbelivable scale

Cons

Organizations can get hyper-focused on metrics and it feels a little like you're in a fish bowl. Working at a company as big as Amazon, you feel like a very small and insignificant piece of a very large entity. It is very hard to get promoted

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.
