Pros

Top-notch engineering talent and excellent compensation

Cons

Very aggressive, not lifestyle-friendly, very focused on making money, sometimes feels like a Wall Street firm. Not for the long-term unless you can be aggressive day-in and day-out for years and years

Pros

The company is very customer centric, and tries to do the right thing for the customer. If you find right manager and mentor, you can build a good rewarding career here. The key is, right manager and mentor. Amazon is not a bad stepping stone to other companies where you can grow technically.

Cons

The work culture is brutal here. Sub-standard hardware, open rooms with lots of noise and chaos. Hard to get any work done. Everyday seems like a fire drill. And to add to that, middle management has no clue and is running around like chicken without a head. Managers have no vested interest in nurturing and developing their employees. You basically have to fend for yourself.
