Pros

Opportunity to work with the latest tech stacks, good salary, stocks and company outings every once in a while.

Cons

You'd find some of the worst management here. It doesn't matter if you grind yourself, if the manager doesn't like you for some reason, they'd likely put an end to your career at Amazon. At the end of the day, it's just a number game for them like many other tech companies out there. As Amazon is a huge employer, they also fire people in the same proportion. So, I'd say not to prefer this company unless you're out of other options.

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.
