      Pros

      Looks good on your resume, the RSU's are nice if they vest in time (and Amazon's stock is high)--before you go mad from the insane hours you work (while being on salary), and that's about it.

      Cons

      1) No work/life balance 2) No respect 3) No advancement 4) No guidance 5) No real leadership from management 6) No fun 7) No employee retention 8) No rewards for hard work

      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.
