Pros

Interesting projects. Great people and good middle management. Nice benefits and pay. Good career opportunities but you need to fight hard for them. Good WLB. Sometimes I read in reviews horrible stories about Amazon, but that's not my experience. I guess it depends on the team you are on.

Cons

Probably common to other companies, but it's hard to get promoted. You need to fight to find opportunities to work on projects that give you visibility, and there is a lot of competition. Since Jeff left, CEO and upper level management are completely clueless.

Pros

Can be good for growth early in your career, if you can survive the chaos.

Cons

Instability, lack of vision, constantly shifting priorities. Collaboration is difficult with the extremely competitive environment.
