      Pros

      Amazon holds a high bar for employees -- which is nice to keep "career coasters" from dragging teams down.

      Cons

      Expectations are that employees know their metrics and memorize details of their services and systems can speak to them ad-hoc, including in large meetings exposed to several layers of management above them. Not always great for people who get flustered getting put on the spot on a regular basis.

      The sign on bonus was good.

      No cons really. People are people wherever you work.

      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.
