Pros

Working at a well-known company always seeking to be number one. Good salaries and stock benefits. Awesome talent everywhere

Cons

Customer obsession never applies to employees. The concept of frugality really means being cheap, doing everything possible to shave a buck or two with employee benefits and merchant support. Most of all, though, is the obsession towards providing data to explain your performance; too much time is wasted in internal proceses and reporting...don't we have tools for that?

Pros

Most processes in place do work as you would expect and there is little bureaucracy. There is also room for new ideas and proposals as well as many self-service tools and resources.

Cons

Coaching is not as good as you would expect. Once you enter you are basically on your own. It is up to you to identify a model and the opportunities. Motivation is also up to you. Amazon will invest in your ideas if you can prove they are worthy and back them with real data which means that your initiatives are something you will have to work on during your weekends or spare time.

Pros

Company is heavy on tech savvy individuals. They constantly strive to develop their employees to re-think their current level of thought and learning by challenging them to expand their knowledge base with new means to expand their willingness to "be right a lot." They have a high hiring bar, and those who do meet those expectations work to meet expectations to become permanent employees. Amazon also encourages constant reevaluation of their practices by all employees, in the form of weekly meetings in which a team member can suggest changes directly to the management team. Also, Amazon recruits from a wide variety of disciples, not only technical, which I personally feel is a huge positive.

Cons

The learning curve can be difficult at times, but due to the high level and intellect of the employees, it is easily adapted.
