Pros
Everyday provides new challenges or problems to solve for our customers. I have never once felt board or that my skills were not being used. There is freedom to stretch out and put your skills to use while learning new ones at the same time. The ability to work next to people who have the same motivations and passion that I do has been a breath of fresh air. Seeing everyone embody and use our Leadership Principles everyday is amazing. The last part I will add is the same thing I tell people before I will refer them for positions. Make sure you embody all of our leadership principles because if you don't it might not be a good fit. We use them everyday and in all of our decision making. So, if you embody our principles and are looking for challenge and want to be part of history then Amazon might be the place for you.
Cons
I will not argue that it can be stressful here and that there has been long hours and some weekend work, but the stress that I have dealt with has been a different kind of stress. In previous jobs there was the stress of not liking my job or work, stress of missing deadlines or the stress of a micromanaging boss. While I have experienced stress from deadlines its not so much related to getting the task/work done, the stress has been around making sure that it's the best I can do and focuses on meaningful change. So for me, this has been a more positive stress and motivation then anything else, but stress none the less.
