Pros

Amazon is a great place to start your career. You are expected to learn quickly and constantly and always kept on your toes.

Cons

In some teams the workload can be extreme, and people burn out quickly. Do your research and make sure your team isn't one of the high-stress ones before you sign an offer.

Pros

will be exposed to both smart&dumb retail business details.

Cons

Employees experience double standards across the company. You are unlikely to get a bonus or raise if you do not give them a competing offer. And you might be blamed for trying to leave them for money. Ridiculus.

A lots of opportunity, nice city, a lots of dogs. Great people. Grow fast. Massive scale. A lots to learn.

Cons

I don't know, just joined for 6 month ago, everything seems fine now. No free food, have to go out and spend 1 hour (plus 10$) for lunch.
