      Pros

      Coworkers are very smart, hard working and make you better at your job. They will give you the tools to accelerate your career and push you to do so. Culture lends itself to work always getting done and people taking responsibility.

      Cons

      Work life balance doesn’t really exist. Management is always the weakest point. You’re expendable, but more so after the new leadership under Andy Jassy

      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.
