Pros

Depending on the functional group you work, your experiences may differ. Clearly, Amazon is a engineers driven company - Extremely sharp people. Some of the best you can find. - Some of them are very creative in problem solving - Generally, a very cohesive work group. - If you want to work on cutting edge stuff, this is the place. Tons of resume value. Trust me, folks outside respect the Amazon talent.

Cons

Again, depends on your role. If you are middle manager and above, - it can be frustrating to convince so many diff teams to build some stuff for you. - bureaucratic at 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.
