      Pros

      * Hugely innovative company * You're never working on the same thing for very long * Movement between teams and around the company is encouraged * Strong culture of knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving, both within your team and throughout the company * Amazon's computing needs are among the most extreme in the world--there's never a shortage of challenging problems to solve

      Cons

      * The benefits package isn't all that great for a company of Amazon's size * The culture of frugality has a tendency to disappoint: employee perks are at a minimum here * Parental leave policies are bare minimum * Stock-based bonuses take a while (years) to kick in

      Pros

      I got paid weekly, there was a $2 premium for night shifts.

      Cons

      The only con was the 2 hour commute to and from 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.
