Pros

A respected name in e-commerce and one of the most powerful forces in retail. Innovative ideas that enhance the shopping experience (and Amazon's revenue potential) are abundant. Seattle is lovely and the cafeteria burrito bar is one of the best!

Cons

Unbelievably long hours, no recognition, poor management, micro-management from the very top, no appreciation of staff ('just can them and get someone else'), incredible arrogance towards employees and business partners, etc.

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.
