      Pros

      Amazon has a strong brand and stock. There are many talented engineers. There is easy access to resources and tools, such as AWS, making it easy to quickly setup systems and services.

      Cons

      Its hard to stand out or make an impact. There is an atmosphere of competition instead of collaboration. Fast delivery is prioritized over quality and work-life balance.

      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.
