      A good place to work, for a short period of time.

      Pros

      Most everyone has an opportunity to add value at Amazon. It's definitely a culture where great ideas are appreciated and,. sometimes, acted on. You are surrounded by smart, ambitious people.

      Cons

      It is a very competitive, cutthroat environment. Lots of smart people, but all are trying to hard to move ahead by any means neccessary. Many of the directors that I dealt with were very very poor people managers, but great at managing up. Not a place for the light hearted or those that need coddling.

      Work Hard...yes, that part of the tag line is reality.

      Pros

      It is a big company with amazing brand recognition. The company is doing very well; not said about many companies in these hard economic times. If you truly enjoy working very hard and put most of your energy into your work this is a great place to work. There are no nine to five jobs at amazon. It is a great place to work if you are truly committed to self-development-don't expect the company to teach you how to do your job. You will be surrounded by people who are bright and future focused...there isn't time to get caught up in the past.

      Cons

      Work/Life Balance is of no importance to the leadership. The company doesn't implement any programs to allow the people working there to feel respected or valued. Compensation: Your first two years with the company are the most financially rewarding...if you accept a job be sure to determine where you are in the payscale. Chances are you may have been placed at the top of the pay range, which will ultimately lead to a very small increase to your base wage. Development: Regardless of your position, your development must be owned by you. The company offers very little opportunity to develop your skills. The value placed on education is very high.

      Pros

      You'll work with some of the smartest people you've met

      Cons

      You must be a strong willed individual and be ready to prove your case with data and to fight for your viewpoint against the odds. If you aren't willing or capable of doing this, you won't enjoy your job much.
