Pros

Amazon is a great place to work in HR if you want to see how this function works on a massive global scale. The pace is very fast, and the work is highly ambiguous, so there is plenty to learn.

Cons

There is a *lot* of change and churn in the HR function. I had 7 different managers by my 2nd anniversary. The HR organization is highly product / process focused, and far less people focused. That may be necessary for scale, but for many in HR, this makes our softer and strategic skills less valuable.

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.
