Pros

Amazon Retail is a great way to challenge yourself while keeping you up to date with new technologies. At the same time, you get to make a direct and huge impact to final customers.

Cons

As always, there's a downside. Moving fast across technologies and building highly reliable systems at a large scale requires constant evolution and collaboration across multiple areas. Somethings is hard to keep a fast pace in those scenarios.

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.
