Pros

I joined Amazon with a Master's degree with 1 year of experience. I have had so many opportunities for system designs, delivering values to end-customers, and project management. I have been a people manager for more than a year now. I love the products that we have been building at Amazon. If you have passion and want to get a sense of accomplishment, working for Amazon is a great choice.

Cons

Anecdotally, the compensation when you are in lower levels may be a disadvantage, comparing to other tier-1 companies. With Amazon's stock raising as a hockey stick, and the simplification on the promotion process, I don't believe the current salary would matter, when looking back cumulatively after couple years.

Pros

As a Software development manager at Amazon, I enjoy coming to work everyday knowing that my team's efforts are having a significant impact on the world's largest e-commerce site. I am talking in the xxx million dollar per year range. There is a lot of latitude in choosing how to work and the direction of your product. Every person I have met so far is quite bright and enjoyable to work with. Compensation is great especially compared to the broader, more legacy IT companies.

Cons

Rapid/frequent organization change. Some engineers are promotion driven instead of customer obsessed.
