Pros

Work hard. Make history. Have fun. You work with the smartest people with the best talent on problems that other companies never face given the global scale, volume and response requirements demanded. You'll learn more in one year at Amazon than you will with five at other companies given the challenges you face given the pace.

Cons

Company has lost some edge in past 3-5 years as newer mid-/senior- level leadership have not embraced nor enforce the leadership principles as part of everyday work as was done in the past. Depending upon the team or area the workload can be excessive making work-life harmony difficult to achieve - just set your limits and you should be fine.

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.
