Pros

Flexible hours of operations allow work from home via VPN. Bringing dogs into the office is fun and makes people smile. If you are a hard worker, and interested in tackling challenges head on, by inventing and innovating than Amazon is a good place for you. No one discourages you for political or sneaky reasons, if you have good ideas, and the balls to speak up, most coworkers are positive and will be supportive.

Cons

Not much training for new hires, you need to ask all the questions in order to learn how things work. The company moves people into new offices all the time, almost every 6 months we pack up and relocate again. Certain buildings do not allow employees to bring dogs into work, so that is not gauranteed, and could be lost...

Pros

When you are in a meeting with people at Amazon, you are with some of the smartest people you will ever meet. Unlike many companies where you might think you are the smartest person at the company, at amazon you will lucky to be average. The people are the hardest working, most driven group that is at one cohesive company.

Cons

The culture to employees at amazon is horrible. Managers are held under high pressure and pass it down to employees. Employees are sacrificed as scape goats to senior management for any mistakes. Working at Amazon is 80 hours a week, every week and there is no respect for personal boundaries. The average tenure at amazon is 2.5 years.
