Pros

Surrounded by smart, driven coworkers, who are motivated by the large scale/scope work of improving Amazon customer experiences. You'll learn from everyone around you. Analytical skills and writing skills are valued. You're empowered to experiment, take risks.

Cons

Amazon is messy, a start up that grew very quickly (too quickly?). Some internal systems were not designed for the scale of that they are now used for, so seemingly simple tasks can be time consuming. I expected the fundamental internal processes/systems to be well oiled machines before I started working here. They are not. That can be frustrating for some but also an opportunity to innovate. You must be comfortable working in ambiguity to be happy here.

Pros

- Culture is unique: astonishingly customer focus, performance and results driven, data based to its very core, objective and fast paced, demanding while still being supportive, you feel part of a team, and your teammates are basically all-star level in their fields - Growth: lots of opportunities for lateral and upward moves due to both geographical and organic business growth, there is definitely room for taking responsibility and ownership of your work - Opportunities seem endless with the way Amazon has been investing, who knows what will you be working on in 2,5,10 years? That's exciting.

Cons

- Benefits: although pay is competitive, Amazon's frugal policy makes a lot of other benefits basically non-existent. Don't expect a barista in your office, or a ton of fun company events. This place is all about "work hard", "have fun" is often missing. - The fast-paced and sometimes hectic nature of a massive business growing at this pace makes the work environment and your priorities often feeling hectic. If you are not comfortable with constant change and if you are not flexible in how, where, and with whom you work - this place is not for you.
