      Pros

      Work with empowered, very smart people. Lots of interesting technology. Individual groups have a lot of autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions.

      Cons

      Support of the tier-1 systems can be exhausting at times. Hundred of groups with lots of freedom sometimes creates duplicate efforts and mismatched goals.

      Pros

      Amazon pushes you to always be thinking bigger, improving your processes, and becoming more agile

      Cons

      Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

      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.
