Pros

- Great Employee focus.. After 5 jobs with some of the biggest in the industry, here's one which walks the talk. they care about you and do all they can to make your work challenging and your resume top-class - Amazing Innovation drive - Flat organization - Won't get bored - One of the best salary packages

Cons

- This is a software company.. the non-software guys belonging to the business will have more challenges in growing - This is a software company.. some of the decisions on products are taken in lieu of the engineering capability rather than the customer need

Pros

Lots of room for growth, learning and advancement.

Cons

There is little consideration for people's personal lives, and the impact that their work may have on their personal life. Transportation pass is a really good benefit, but really the only benefit outside of basic medical/dental/401k.

Pros

Amazon offers lots of autonomy, flexibility in schedule and working from home. Also, you can bring your dog to work.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to get results, no matter what. Data is everything - which is ok, but the data must be rational and reasonable. Some groups work harder than others, but don't expect a lot of help from your teammates or boss - you need to perform on your own.
