Pros

I'm working with intelligent, engaged, and interesting people. I always considered myself a strong writer, but I have become even stronger since I started working at Amazon. There is so much opportunity for innovation and to improve processes and mechanisms, and I am encouraged to do that.

Cons

Many of the tools are surprisingly not great. There are a lot of internally developed tools that just aren't as good as those on the market whose focus is on making the best experience for the tool users.

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.
