      No longer a place where "builders can build". Mediocre company with mediocre pay & benefits relative to industry. - Software Development Engineer II Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      - several businesses are industry-leading and will continue to do well (Amazon retail, AWS, Kindle) - internal developer tools and expertise is still a great asset

      Cons

      - increase in management levels, degrading talent, and churn is leading to a slower company with poorer quality products - hiring bar getting lower; best employees are leaving since there is nothing particularly attractive to retain them - mediocre pay and benefits relative to an overall tech industry that pays very generously - stock at current price has limited upside compared to industry

      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.
