Pros

Even on backend teams, your customer impact is more than pretty much anywhere else in the world. You'll learn a lot. You can use whatever technology you want to get it done.

Cons

Culture and Leadership, mostly. Jassy once recommended us "death by meeting". The premises sounded solid so I bought a copy. The thought process throughout was absolutely horrifying. However, the company felt run exactly as how the author would have you run a company.

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.
