Pros

Excellent Team. Some of the brightest minds you will find Alignment to vision and leadership principles. Unlike many companies where these are just posters on the walls, Amazon takes leadership principles very seriously

Cons

Amazon needs to put effort to showcase its image rightly to the external world. A lot of people are under the mis-conception that Amazon is a task master which is actually not the case

Pros

Work here is challenging and fast paced. Get on the right team and you can go far. Expectations are high so work can be stressful. However, it's not as bad as people say. Most managers care about you and your well being. So far work/life balance is not an issue

Cons

Company moves too fast sometimes. Amazon culture prevents enterprise standards and data governance, and favors quick moving individual solutions. It's time to balance startup culture with proven tactics.
