Pros
- Flexible Hours - Tremendous amounts of personal ownership in products - Always customer focused (99% of the time) - Personal growth potential is through the roof
Cons
- Can be long hours. This is mitigated if you communicate with management frequently about progress and realistic expectations. Hint: you can always push back on deadlines. - often Too much ambiguity in requirements (just means lots more communication and before coding). Amazon almost prides itself on dealing with ambiguity -- it's sometimes taken to the extreme. - Everythig is constantly in flux, I have come back from a few 2 day vacations to find my project had morphed while I was gone. This is due to the pace of the workplace.
