Pros

Amazon is a good company for those who are hard-working. There I will always get the opportunity to prove myself. I will also be given access to people and resources who can help me achieve myself. Amazon is a place fostering difference to emulate innovation. So no need to conform, just the need to produce results.

Cons

I may have to work for a bit longer and sometimes a little more than I am expected to. I must be prepared as it will be hard to keep up with everything. I might go through a tough time while trying to create a life balance.

Pros

The subject matter to work on at the company is extremely interesting and you have the opportunity to try innovative solutions to problems if you can back them up with data.

Cons

Working at Amazon is all about the dates. Once the dates are set, management is willing to cut any corner in order to meet them, which leads to technical debt and lots of legacy code and tribal knowledge about shortcuts taken. Also, you must take personal responsibility for your work life balance. You will always have too much work to do to have a reasonable balance, so set your own boundaries with management or 50 hour weeks quickly become 60.
