Pros

Focused on the customer and creating a good expereince for them. There are opportunities to work outside US if you want to spend some time working at elements outside US. Most of the survivors are an intelligent group that try to believe in what they are doing.

Cons

Most manager micromanage the small stuff and do not provide any strategic vision. Way to much turnover as people leave or move to avoid the bad managers. Poor compensation levels and you have to compete with your co-workers for any raises you get as raises are capped. If you are not one of the favored folks you can forget about being promotoed.

Pros

Be part of the leading online retailer.

Cons

Amazon used to be the place where you "acted like an owner", and everybody went beyond their job descriptions and did what was best for the company. They've morphed into a standard large company where people now answer "not my problem" instead of "I'll take care of it"
