      Pros

      It is a fun, fast paced environment. Lots of opportunities to advance with the rotational program which really gets the creative juices flowing and moving between teams. People are highly motivated and want to change the world, very serious about the company mission. Everyone is treated with respect and team environment is great. Relaxed work environment, I can chat with anyone around me and listen to my music, then go out to happy hour after work with some coworkers.

      Cons

      They work you very hard, you're expected to work a ton of overtime. Company isn't growing at breakneck speed of early 2000 so opportunity for advancement is not as big. Very very high hiring bar.

      Prepare to be overworked and under paid

      Pros

      Amazon was a great place to learn and hone skills but an incredibly stressful experience overall. It's nice that they really do put the customer first, and I will continue to be an Amazon.com customer.

      Cons

      Prepare to be overworked and under paid. Senior management is a boy's club and management doesn't treat their employees the way they should be treated. When they say the customer comes first, they mean it, as employees come last. The kicker was when I had to work on Christmas Day, without any compensation, for something that truly could have waited until after the holiday. Communication can be antagonistic at times and there's a general lack of respect.
