      Pros

      You can learn a lot if you luck yourself on to a good team and a lot of other companies think Amazon on your resume makes you extremely desirable.

      Cons

      Managers like to micro-manage, to consistently pester engineers for information so they can do their status updates that no one reads. A lot of teams are built to remedy tech-debt from other teams and you don't want to be on one of them!

      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.
