Pros

Great workplace. You get to work with an international team that knows a lot about Marketing and Traffic initiatives.

Cons

Any senior role at Amazon takes around 12h a day to get done. That makes work-life balance a bit challenging and leaves no time for your personal life.

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.
