Pros

You'll work on bigger problems at a more massive scale than anywhere on earth. You will have lots of opportunities to expand your job scope and responsibility as you prove yourself.

Cons

The company overall is run like a combination of Lord of the Flies and Atlas Shrugged. There are no centralized or standardized processes and everyone is trying to prove that they're valuable Promotions beyond L6 are nearly impossible at Amazon Corporate. Overall, the jobs at Amazon are severely under-leveled. Most people will leave an SVP job elsewhere to be a Director at Amazon, and when they leave a Director job at Amazon, they'll be an SVP elsewhere. This is by design. Everything is done as a panicked response, or worse, as a knee-jerk reaction to a Jeff B "?" email. It is rare to actually do something as a result of a long term strategy.

Pros

Smart, highly motivated team, initiatives that have direct customer impact, high visibility in the organization. Own your product end-to-end from conception to implementation to delivery to maintenance.

Cons

Very aggressive goals, no work life balance. Boss works harder than me because boss has more agressive goals. Company expects to work hard, work smart and work long hours. All teams own online services and you are never off work if you are the manager. Need to invest in a support org for live issues that pop up in the middle of the night.
