Pros

Very geeky environment. Everyone needs to be hands on. Lot's of useful tools, possibility to work on OpenSource projects

Cons

Big pressure. Hard to explain that changes are affecting timelines. There is no place for your gut feeling, you need to have data for everything (even for things you have not build yet). Working in different time zone than Seattle makes you being ignored if you are not willing to join meeting at 10PM every day.

Pros

Bold visions, appetite for risk, smart people. All of that make for interesting work environment. Amazon is definitely a please where builders can build.

Cons

Lots and lots of work. My typical work day is 10-12 hours. There is pressure to deliver all the time and if you do not deliver, nothing else matters. Perception is king, so make sure you are popular.
