Pros

Looks great on a resume. If you can survive at Amazon, you can be successful most anywhere.

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance. I'm not just speaking for my personal experience...this is accross the company at all levels and in almost all positions. The philosophy at Amazon is "live to work" NOT "work to live". Also...there is a very adversarial relationship between the internal customers and HR and business partners are completely disrespectful, bordering on abusive.

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.
