Pros

Amazon has included "Strive to be Earth's Best Employer" as one of their Leadership Principles. Early into my tenure as an Amazonian, I can see those efforts in action. The benefits are top-notch. Overall compensation is at the high end of the market for most positions. Great opportunity for growth/advancement. Excellent culture.

Cons

I'm sure it varies based on location and job function, but I feel a bit disconnected from my team and left with a desire for a bit more direction. This is very specific to my individual experience so other's experience will vary.

Pros

Work-life balance if you find the right executive to support. Lots of room for growth and exploring opportunities within the company

Cons

It's not really a con in my opinion, but it might be to you if you aren't up for it. You have to work hard and do a great job. Poor performers stick out like a sore thumb.

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.
