Pros

* Very fast-paced organization with abundant growth opportunity. Within less time, one would get to work on interesting technology, which might not be possible in other organization. * Working with Smart people and on cool projects * Happy feeling a developer when the code he developed, serves millions of customers of amazon.com

Cons

All Developers are On-call on a weekly rotational basis, The person who is oncall is responsible for solving all critical issues on the go. For smaller teams, rotation frequency would be faster and very hectic.

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.
