Pros

Perks and the possibility to get a better job. If you can work in Amazon, you'll find easy to work anywhere!

Cons

Employees must state weaknesses of their colleagues in their performance reviews. These are taken to build up cases against other employees. Every morning a few mandatory questions prompt in the system to gather employees' feedback about managers, coworkers, any intention to quit the job or rate the company coolness. This combination (along with the fact that there is rarely room for promotion) encourages an unhealthy company culture of distrust among employees. In two years that I was there, I had the impression I didn't know the people in my team and I learnt myself to mind my own businesses only. Questions and pushing back changes are not normally welcome. Employees must abide by any rapid changes and tenet "show a backbone" would not really work. Some marketplaces (e.g. India) get larger workloads. Noticeably, they are expected to be available am and pm, in meetings at indecent times!

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.
