Pros

Amazon is a large company with different teams that work on vastly different topics. Your experience might significantly differ from team to team. Usually you will find yourself switching teams in the first year to find the team that better fits you. One nice aspect of Amazon is that they emphasize on making real products or services and making money out of it. This gives a clear direction to the projects.

Cons

Some teams have very heavy workload. Compensation is also not competitive with other tech companies.

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.
