Pros

Very Smart People. Meritocracy. You can move your career very fast. Performance is far more important than degrees, experience, or time at the company. If you are smart and highly motivated, this company will accelerate your career.

Cons

There are a lot of very smart and highly motivated people here. If you want to make okay money while just putting in empty hours, there is a company across the lake for that. If you come here, you'd better be prepared to fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run.

Pros

Promotes Ownership and has a very fast-paced culture

Cons

Lots of deadwood in the middle ranks who know how to game the system by colluding and playing politics with others. Esp. true in Amazon Traffic group in India.

Management is not that good. Org structure keeps on changing . People leave company before 2 years so stability is not there.
