Pros

Decisions are well thought through. Good balance of the Leadership principles at work. Good Work Life Synergy. Amazon has a lot of teams. It is like a large company with many startups within. Once you feel that you have contributed to your team, learnt and grown, you can switch to other teams and continue your growth trajectory.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

I joined Amazon with a Master's degree with 1 year of experience. I have had so many opportunities for system designs, delivering values to end-customers, and project management. I have been a people manager for more than a year now. I love the products that we have been building at Amazon. If you have passion and want to get a sense of accomplishment, working for Amazon is a great choice.

Cons

Anecdotally, the compensation when you are in lower levels may be a disadvantage, comparing to other tier-1 companies. With Amazon's stock raising as a hockey stick, and the simplification on the promotion process, I don't believe the current salary would matter, when looking back cumulatively after couple years.
