Pros

Lots of +ves about Amazon like - ability to make an impact to end users - talented and smart people to work with - no need to re-invent the wheel for the most part, so get to work on exciting stuff

Cons

-ves - pager duty for SDE, this sucks you are pretty much tied down to your work/home for that week as you need to respond to pages within minutes - do not agree with stack ranking for reviews - higher burn out rate, usually see developers lasting about 2 years before they move on

Pros

Great friendly culture. Everyone is hard working but has fun. We are frugal and care about how funds are allocated within the company. There is a lot of growth which means many job opportunities.

Cons

The company is experiencing so much growth that many people are overworked as positions change and others are promoted. There is a lot of back fill but this is also an opportunity for personal growth.

Pros

Amazon is a fast paced business that prefers to act rather than wait indefinitely for the perfect solution. The organization is very flat, so responsibility is yours for the taking. They take leadership very seriously, and expect great things from their managers every year.

Cons

Can be long hours, but that comes with any operations job.
