Pros

Great benefits and if you can last, very good bonuses.

Cons

Zero work life balance. Treated like slaves. Brutal conditions for managers. Work over 80 hours per week is "normal". If you are lucky you get a couple of days off per week, but hey, you are working from home because you are always overloaded with work. Oh, and if that's not enough, enjoy working through lunch loading trailers or packing on a pack line. And good luck getting a minute to use the bathroom. Nope, I am not exaggerating. Amazon SUCKS and treats people like crap. They don't do anything super creative as far as their fulfillment centers go, but they think they do. I watched many people do projects that were not projects at all, but industry standards. Or, my personal favorite was do a project that was done a year ago and failed and just do it again with bogus data (their data is so unreliable) and make it look like you actually accomplished something for a promotion.

Pros

* Good total comp. * Great opportunities for advancement. * RSU grants are solid contributor to total comp. * Ability to control your business and influence change across the network. * Extremely intelligent coworkers who inspire you to perform. * It's Amazon....seriously. It's rough at times, but you're working for the largest, fastest growing retailer in the world. It's worth it.

Cons

* Long hours. * Amazon values mobility, so if that's not your thing, this can be negative. * High turnover among peers.
