Pros

Amazon is large, Anything you do, touches millions on products and affects millions of experiences. If you want to work in retail tech, this is the cutting edge. If you want to understand retail CX, this is the place to be.

Cons

Amazon has gotten too large. Things move at snail's pace. The sheer amount of paperwork involved to get a new product started eats into enthusiasm and development time. Colleagues are now mediocre and there is less camaraderie. Lots of politics and a need to look out for yourself.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
