Pros

Work with really talented people, work on very interesting and challenging projects, learn how a very fast moving organization works. Lots of decentralization and autonomy gives great flexibility. Can work offsite and on the move easily. Great support and work atmosphere between peers.

Cons

Management is immature and not people oriented - lots of talk about it but not in practice HR goal is to minimize damage and keep management safe Two track evaluation process with no relationship required between the two tracks Very decentralized and lots of practically autonomous teams can also result in chaos

Pros

You will get 5 years of IT experience in only one year of employment. It is a fast-paced, highly-intellectual environment.

Cons

It is a fast-paced, highly-intellectual environment. If you are not ready for it, it will be a challenging time.

Pros

You will learn what it really means to be customer centric. Company is much less bureaucratic than other large tech companies. If you are smart, motivated, single and have no other commitments you can succeed. You will learn a lot and ship a lot. It is true that 1 year experience at Amazon is equivalent to 2 years at any other large tech company.

Cons

Company is customer focused, not employee focused. Management does not care about you as a person. If you have kids and your wife is working, then Amazon is not for you. A lot of churn in many groups. Plans, designs and everything else changes all the time. You have to be good at handling such churn. A lot is expected from you. You need to be able to handle a lot of stress, be great at multitasking, and should be available round the clock (e.g early morning meetings with Europe and late night meetings with teams in India).
