      Pros

      - Amazon knows how to do business - Freedom in decisions - Disciplined, data-driven approach to everything - The best place to learn

      Cons

      - On-Call - Bad work-life balance - SDEs do development, deployment, support, on-call -- great chance that you hate at least one of those

      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.
