      Pros

      You get free coffee, can learn about how to build an application at web scale, and work with some smart people.

      Cons

      Smart people doing stupid things. Well intended management / leadership doing stupid things. Lack of strong career planning ... happens once a year. Be prepared to be anal about details. A company that is still trying to be a startup (act like one in terms of results) but with big company bureaucracy (ie. better cover your arse).

      If you want your self-esteem to be degraded - come work here!

      Pros

      Innovative company Good compensation and benefits Room for professional growth and advancement

      Cons

      - Priorities are constantly changing so that you don't know what you should be focusing on and you are not able to accomplish much because you get pulled from one project or priority to the next - Work is piled on you so that you learn to manage NOT doing things and ignoring requests just to keep you head above water - this is not something I felt good about in trying to do my job - Performance feedback and professional development advice was inconsistent from one of my superiors to the next - Their motto is "work hard, have fun, make history" - the fun part s definitely not there. As managers we were afraid to talk to eah other on the shop floor and be seen smiling or enjoying ourselves for fear that a senior manager would see us not being serious & professional enough. -Work/life balance - that is practically non-existent.

      Pros

      There are some very challenging problems and smart people at Amazon. If you find a group with strong management and smart peers, you can learn a lot and work on satisfying problem sets.

      Cons

      Some groups do not have great accountability; the company can be very cheap about things like hiring QA or support engineers.
