      Loads of opportunities to develop - Software Development Manager Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      * High hiring bar = super-smart colleagues * Broad range of projects across disparate domains, allowing for new challenges without moving company * No ivory towers: everyone shares their knowledge, and anyone can challenge anyone else's proposals regardless of level or experience * Plenty of career opportunities: role shifts encouraged & SDE progression does not mean management (although I chose to!) * Competitive salary, benefits & RSUs

      Cons

      * No-one will stop you taking things on: if you don't learn to say "no" you can easily get swamped * Extremely wide grades means promotions are infrequent (it may take 10+ years to get promoted once you've reached 5+ years' experience) and very high-effort

      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.
