Pros

Interesting, fast paced environment, working alongside a very bright and well aligned group of people. Also, the opportunities to grow vertically and horizontally throughout the organization are unlike anything I've experienced previously, even in management consulting. Base compensation is good, though not great. When topped up with variable compensation however, it is very attractive.

Cons

The culture demands that you're able to defend your views or decisions in a rigorous, data driven way, and accept criticism constructively without taking it personally. This doesn't suit everyone, however if it does, then both these things become significant Pros, adding to your experience and growth.

Pros

Amazon affords many benefits—pay, stock, generous PTO and maternity/paternity, parking allowances and transit passes—but the most exciting benefit is less tangible: the opportunity to grow and learn in one of the most innovative companies on the planet. At Amazon, you're working with amazingly talented people who constantly challenge your assumptions. The mandate to create well-written narrative documents when proposing an idea to leadership means that you're under pressure to think through your ideas and find a way to crystallize them. The result is that each product and service receives significant scrutiny long before resources are invested.

Cons

Amazon feels a bit like a bunch of small startups conglomerated into a large entity, and as a result, there's often ambiguity in the job. No on is going to tell you what to do—you have to figure it out. For some, that's a benefit, but it can also be daunting at times.
