Pros

Amazon is definitely not the company where you sit, relaxed, and slowly work through your tasks for the month; it's *actually* what they called a "fast paced" environment: a new adventure every day, a new challenge every project. You definitely don't get bored here! Of course this means you have the opportunity to make a huge difference everyday, along with some of the bests in the Industry.

Cons

The company is growing mindbogglingly fast these years, and this is bringing prioritization challenges, sometimes ripping apart entire organizations. The Leadership and management are nevertheless up for the challenge and everybody recognizes that only working together we will manage the upcoming challenges.

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.
