Pros

Work cultured is over-hyped, but its not that bad. They were very understanding and allowed you to work from home a lot.

Cons

You get to do pager duty. Initially they expect you to be on-call during vacations, etc. Amazon doesn't have vacations for Thanksgiving or New years.

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.
