Pros

Innovation in day to day work. Customer Obsession at every level. Learning Opportunities. (Continuous learning - I grew with my job and there has never been a dull day ). You work with really smart people which is awesome. Growth Opportunities. (Company respects and provides growth opportunities for both people manager and individual contributors). People here not only talk about leadership principles but also follow it in their day to day work. It has some of the very unique good policies such as it allowing internal transfers from day 1 across the org. Good Compensation. Very competitive environment. Dress code (none) It gives ample power to make key decision and changes irrespective of the role or level.

Cons

Not a Con really but Area of Improvement (Due to dynamic work culture, Work life balance is a challenge but it is up to the individual to prioritize the tasks and Create a one for their own). Constant re-org and shifting makes it hard to build momentum for your own career at times

Pros

Fast paced and energetic environment. You're given a lot of responsibility, regardless of level, and really get to have a chance to have an impact on the business. It's easy to move around the company and even make large career changes. There's no workplace politics that can prevent you from finding a new team or taking your career/promotions into your own hand. With plenty open roles and teams across the world, there's really an opportunity for everyone at Amazon to find something that they truly enjoy. It's also a really fun work environment, with a young workforce. I really enjoy the open learning sessions you can join to learn about what other teams are working on, there's plenty of company/team sponsored events, relaxed work environment where you can enjoy a drink with coworkers while you relax at your desk in the afternoon. Flexible work life balance is really appreciated.

Cons

You definitely will work hard, feel dumb a fair amount of time, and need to have or develop quickly a back bone. At times it seems tough, but when I look back at how much I learned at Amazon in only a couple years compared to previous companies, my knowledge has grown tenfold and I'm incredibly happy I took the opportunity to join Amazon. And again, if you feel that the team you're on isn't a good fit or the role that you're in isn't quite working out for you, switch. It's that easy.
