Pros

They treat you great, allow you to make the calls, give you freedom, pay managers great, great work schedule, great work lace.

Cons

Associates are allowed to much freedom sometimes when it comes to taking time off. It's great they can manage their own time, however it really makes it hard on a manager.

Pros

Surrounded by smart people, new challenges every day, and given an opportunity to really influence the business. Rapid growth means tons of opportunities to grow.

Cons

Work / life balance is a real challenge and for a company this large, it's not always the most organized place.

Pros

There are many things to work on in Amazon - there are few problems that are well solved and do not require further innovation. This can be a huge benefit when you come in to Amazon, there will definitely be something to which you can apply yourself.

Cons

A negative is that often you are dealing with all of the daily work and don't have the chance to make framework improvements or large-scale changes to the software you are working on. Too often stuck with finer details and management may not make time for the larger changes.
