      Excellent place to work at!

      Pros

      Very stimulating environment with a lot of very smart folks. Work/life balance is surprisingly good. Lots of opportunities for growth and exposure to some awesome new technologies and platforms.

      Cons

      Not a con, but the day to day flow is very fast paced with frequently shifting priorities. You have to be able and prepared to deal with a lot of ambiguity in your projects. Don't expect things to be handed to you on a platter - you will need to dig in constantly to get the most out of everything you do, and to deliver your tasks on time.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Recognition for innovation and smart work. 2) Great place to learn and experiment. 3) Working with smart people keeps you on your toes and helps you learn. 4) Fast paced culture, growth based on your performance. 5) Ease of moving across teams is great tool for the organisation and individual, employees can move to teams that offer better culture, growth and work 6) Fair HR department that focus on employee development and mitigation of concerns.

      Cons

      1) First few months can be a bit of challenge for new folks to adjust Amazon's culture and peculiar methods. 2) At times the work load can get overwhelming especially when there is customer impact, but this is again not by design but teams failing to do the right things. Everyone is empowered to to the right thing and make improvements.
