Pros

Working at Amazon gives you the ability to learn and to interact with incredibly smart people. There is no shortage of interesting projects or initiatives. Good place to develop writing skills.

Cons

Grinder culture, work is your life, incredibly bad and toxic managers tend to hang on much too long, and in some cases thrive. While everyone is a vocal proponent for direct communication style, finding errors in projects can lead to retaliation.

Pros

Lots of innovation and smart people. Great place to learn about many aspects of the business.

Cons

Preference is to hire managers externally vs. promoting from within. The incredibly difficult work-life balance takes high performing employees and burns them out until they have nothing left to give with little to no recognition or compensation. Promotions take a really long time and when transferring within teams there is very little chance to be promoted and starting all over again with a new manager within a lateral move, on a new team can take 1-2 years for promotion. Therefore, don't come to Amazon to build your career unless you're willing to put in a minimum of 3 years before being recognized.
