Pros

Great benefits, deliberate and well-intentioned human resources, strong initiatives to invent and hire the best talent. Amazon boasts a vastly diverse workforce that continually cultivates innovation and opportunity.

Cons

Large number of organizations within company creates unnecessary red tape/bureaucracy, certain groups encourage stress-inducing around-the-clock coverage, overly complicated solutions for otherwise simplistic issues.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
