Pros
The best reason to work at Amazon is that it gives you the ability to control your own destiny. If you are assertive and hard working then you will go places, just keep up the hard work and people will notice.
Cons
There are some issues with work-life balance for some employees. Although hard work does speak loudly, there is a level of politics that still goes on that is distracting, demoralizing and old school business.
