Pros

The best reasons to work at Amazon would be the following: resume building, experience in a dynamic environment, where you could design and run with a project. There can be room to make your position what you'd like it to be if you're on the right team.

Cons

The downsides to working at Amazon would be the following: it's very political, there are a lot of back-stabbers, you cannot trust your peers or HR, you do not get the support you need to run projects, you don't have the tools you need to do your job, and the constant changes make some processes very manual.

Pros

Good pay Clean facilities Safe environment

Cons

Even though I had a bachelor's, I was never considered for management position. Hopefully you live nearby or tolls across the bridge will kill your income.

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.
