Business outlook
Pros
I was an intern here for six months, and being surrounded by people from places like Stanford, Booth and Ivy League schools was a bit daunting at first, but you quickly learn that this company is not hierarchical at all. On the contrary, it's a launchpad for anyone hungry to grow in responsibility and experience, since there is always opportunity lying around just waiting to be seized.
Cons
Finding time on people's calendars can be difficult, but the people are super helpful if you are able to meet with them. Amazon will take as much of your time as you give them, however, and oftentimes more, making work-life balance difficult to achieve for those with families, even with the work-from-hope option that's available.
