Pros

Amazon is definitely not the company where you sit, relaxed, and slowly work through your tasks for the month; it's *actually* what they called a "fast paced" environment: a new adventure every day, a new challenge every project. You definitely don't get bored here! Of course this means you have the opportunity to make a huge difference everyday, along with some of the bests in the Industry.

Cons

The company is growing mindbogglingly fast these years, and this is bringing prioritization challenges, sometimes ripping apart entire organizations. The Leadership and management are nevertheless up for the challenge and everybody recognizes that only working together we will manage the upcoming challenges.

* Things happen quickly. Very distributed org/teams/products * Everyone is an owner with freedom to own and invent * Full of opportunities to work on exciting projects/new technologies, making a big impact and growing career quickly (as long as you want to)

Cons

* Frugality can get in the way of motivating employees * Work-life balance can be a struggle in some teams but it varies team with team

Pros

Ambitious Yet Achievable Goals Strong focus on Doing What is Right for the Customer over any other secondary considerations. Work-Life Balance (my building is a ghost town at 8pm)

Cons

Lip service to wanting outside influence to better processes. In reality they want someone to tell them their already doing it right. So quickly adapt and they will think your amazing.
