Pros
Amazon.com employs some of the brightest technologists, shrewdest business people, and creative merchandisers. I am continually impressed with the caliber of Amazon employees. Most attended the premiere schools for their specialty and have work ed with a wide variety of top companies. Despite vast accomplishments, employees are very modest and rarely mention achievements or backgrounds. The culture is very egalitarian and casual. Without recognizing faces it is hard to differentiate the CFO and SVPs from low level managers. The company has zero tolerance with politics . The environment is very fast-paced and entrepreneurial.
Cons
The salary and benefits are not as high as some competitors and the company is very frugal and perks are limited. It is time consuming to be hired. Although many positions are open, teams move slowly to maintain a high hiring bar.
