      Pros

      Amazon is a customer centric company. Whatever you do in Amazon, you should think of your customer.

      Cons

      Nobody will help you with anything. Everybody tries to find a way to promotion and one person from a team can be promoted during a review period. So, this basically makes everybody hate each other. You may not even find a colleague to go to lunch with. Even worst, if you are good engineer, everybody will be looking to see you fail or creating an image of failure for you. Thus, everybody tries to use politics as much as they can.

      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.
