Pros

I'm on a great team with highly motivated and focused teammates and a great manager that balances customer and team needs. Good work is recognized, Amazon does a great job of acknowledging merit

Cons

Fast-paced development cycle, lack of care from higher-ups (RTO complaints) Arbitrary reorganizations -- only have been here for roughly 15 months and we've had two high-level rebrandings and are going to move buildings twice

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.
