Pros

Freedom to take your ideas from inception to execution. Not confined by roles/titles. Very bottom-up culture with decisions driven from recommendations collected from team members. Ever dreamt of running your own business without worrying about funding yourself? - Amazon can offer you that kind of freedom if you manage to convince others with your ideas. You are surrounded by really smart and really nice (most) people that you can learn from.

Cons

Not for someone who can't go beyond their role definition. Do it yourself culture that can be frustrating in the beginning .

Pros

Good technical problems to solve. Stock Price has grown well so equity grants are doing very well.

Cons

Promotion processes can be harsh on Employee's with random decisions at times. Technical bar of employees across the company is on the downward trend. Not the best compensation & perks. Companies like Google, Facebook and M$ provide much better compensation & employee benefits.

Pros

1. Provide you the platform to innovate. 2. Still startup culture that allows you to innovate. 3. Pressure to innovate but not to keep doing manual tasks. 4. Work hour flexibility.

Cons

I am privileged to work with some of the best leadership in my career so I do not have any cons. Only cons I can think of is that as there are so many custom tools and processes, it gets harder for a new hire to understand eco-system easily.
