Pros

Been at Amazon for 6+ years and every day have felt challenged and felt empowered to make important decisions. Though the work is challenging, I've never felt like a victim and have always felt that I can make things better. The brand is very strong and I get very positive reactions when I tell people I work for Amazon -- there a lot of happy customers out there!

Cons

Amazon is very fast-paced. Tons of change and though most of it is for the good, company could do a better job thinking through the impact of some of its decisions.

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.
