Pros

Employee empowerment, culture of continuous improvement visible in every aspect of the company, ample opportunities to improve the existing systems and processes. Power is in the data.

Cons

One has to be extra careful in managing work - life balance. Getting used to the amazon way of doing things might be a little daunting for a fresh starter. Compensation is not the best at all levels.

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.
