      Pros

      Amazon is a very dynamic workplace with lots of interesting challenges and technologies to work on. With mix of retail and cloud computing there is a great deal of verity that Amazon offers to its employees. It is also encouraged to change groups periodically to help with career growth of employees. Comp is good and at par with industry standards. The workplace is not very political and management tries to remove road blocks where necessary. Career growth wise, you have control over where you want to be and set proper goals to reach your target. Management will encourage you every step of the way.

      Cons

      Being a retail driven company availability of the website is very important for the business. This can cause some tensions specially if you are not used to working in operationally critical environments. There are going to be times when you are required to carry pagers. Although things have greatly improved in terms of quality of life, while oncall you are bound to your laptop. On the other note, benefits at amazon are not the best. Some of the other companies in the area do offer better benefit packages as compared to Amazon including the 401k matching, medical, fitness center membership and espp.

      Pros

      A respected name in e-commerce and one of the most powerful forces in retail. Innovative ideas that enhance the shopping experience (and Amazon's revenue potential) are abundant. Seattle is lovely and the cafeteria burrito bar is one of the best!

      Cons

      Unbelievably long hours, no recognition, poor management, micro-management from the very top, no appreciation of staff ('just can them and get someone else'), incredible arrogance towards employees and business partners, etc.
