Pros

Scale at which Amazon operates in truly impressive. Lots of flexibility of moving internally. Opportunity to work on all kinds of different problems (high throughput, low latency system, web-scale data, machine learning, robotics, hardware, infrastructure-as-a-service - to name a few).

Cons

Compensation structure is different from other companies (e.g. no annual bonus).

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.
