Business Outlook
Pros
Interesting technologies, great new projects, with tremendous positive impact on the customer. It's a great place to learn about how to run a business. You can have exposure to as many facets as you please. It's relatively easy to move internally. Lots of great people who work in this company.
Cons
Operational load. It is assumed that employees also take on operational duties off hours during a prescribed rotational schedule. Depending on your team, this could be very taxing. Ideas a sought after, but they are rarely pursued, it is very hard to turn an idea into a product in any company but Amazon is still more corporate than startup in this aspect.
