Pros

Interesting projects and technology to work on.

Cons

On some teams, jerks and prima donnas are allowed to be jerks and prima donnas and get promoted for it.

Benefits: In the areas of 401k matching, PTO, and lack of an Employee Stock Purchase plan, they are very poor.

Employee Amazon Store discount is a joke. On the surface, it's a 10% discount, which sounds great, but it's capped at $100/year. That doesn't even cover a Prime membership.

Advice to Management

Fire the jerks and get more real work done.
