Pros

Flexible hours of operations allow work from home via VPN. Bringing dogs into the office is fun and makes people smile. If you are a hard worker, and interested in tackling challenges head on, by inventing and innovating than Amazon is a good place for you. No one discourages you for political or sneaky reasons, if you have good ideas, and the balls to speak up, most coworkers are positive and will be supportive.

Cons

Not much training for new hires, you need to ask all the questions in order to learn how things work. The company moves people into new offices all the time, almost every 6 months we pack up and relocate again. Certain buildings do not allow employees to bring dogs into work, so that is not gauranteed, and could be lost...

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.
