Pros

Amazon hires leaders who think/act like owners. If you are ambitious and have high degree of ownership Amazon is the place for you. Every team runs like startups and most of the decisions are made by the team members. Basically bottomup management.

Cons

If you are looking for a job for just paycheck this is not your place.

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.
