Pros

Amazon has peculiarities that you begin to understand only when you're inside the Amazonian culture. It's like a huge community of professionals that are always ready to help you and apply all effort necessary to guide you through your journey. It's always Day1! Yes it is. There's always something new and challenging to learn.

Cons

It's a huge company with more than a million employees around the world. That's good but also, there's a lot of paths to reach to something (or someone) you need . There's a lot of Standard Operating Procedures and there's also a lot of missing SOPs. Sometimes you can find a lack of information and it's a extreame "do it yourself" / "sel-service" company. Amazon is bureaucratic and it's amazing philosophy sometimes needs to be reinforced in front of so many different cultures, sectors and work levels. Be prepared to work a lot with reduced teams.

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.
