Pros

You have the opportunity to make a big impact because you get a lot of responsibility quickly and you're working on products that are used my millions of people. You also get to work with extremely driven and talented people.

Cons

Work/life balance is difficult. At Amazon you're expected to put work above everything else. If you can't get everything done between 9 and 5, that's your problem, not Amazon's -- don't let the door hit you on the way out!

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.
