Pros

Amazon lives by their leadership principles. This is the first company I have worked for that where I have actually seen the leadership principles in action. Every day, decisions are made based on these. They put the customer first and design work patterns based on customer needs. They make sure the employees have the resources they need to be successful. Amazon empowers their employees to always do what is best for the customer.

Cons

I have been with Amazon for a year now. The only real downside is that everything moves so quickly. They innovate quickly, build quickly, and have new product and services available for their customers. You have to be able to learn and adapt very quickly.

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.
