Pros

Before my internship, I didn't have a very high expectation. A lot of people said on Internet that Amazon doesn't care much about its employee. But after my intership, I think Amazon is Amazing. Everyone is super helpful here and I learned a lot from them. The work time is flexible and we can even work from home one day a week. Amazon organizes many activities for interns, such as movies or picnics. Also, Seattle is a great city (in summer) with lots of fun places to visit.

Cons

The salary is a little lower than bay area companies. But bay area has higher tax, so the difference is no t that much.

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.
