      Pros

      - You work with some of the smartest people around. - Huge range of areas/technology you can work with, depending on the team

      Cons

      - The relaxed and innovation-oriented culture is quickly disappearing, and it is becoming more and more beaurocratic - The fact that management is not doing anything about the infamous retention rate (average 1.5 years for SDEs) shows a lot about where the focus is. SDEs are not valued much, and Amazon is willing to churn/burn through new hires. - Not much perks/benefits compared to other comparable companies

      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.
