Pros

Amazing learning experience, have never accomplished so much. A white collar boot camp. Work with incredibly talented people on interesting projects. After working here will be much more effective and efficient in any future role. Focus on customer is absolutely true and permeates every aspect of the company.

Cons

Demand more than can possibly be delivered with no acknowledgement of achievement. Brutal culture, extremely political once you get into the management ranks. Many "manage up" with no development of their people. Little to no ability for work life balance. If your career is your top priority, this is the place for you. If not, stay away. Never worked anywhere with such poor morale and lack of concern for employees. Basically, Amazon is the evolution of the corporation. Crappy benefits, no perks, drive workers to the breaking point because there's always someone new to take their place.

Pros

People - all smart, focused and data driven. Mission - shared vision, play for the long term, make big bets, make choices, own them Values - Creates incredible workforce with broad reaching influence In general, this is one of the few companies with the will and footprint capable of disrupting most industries it chooses. The ruthless focus on the end consumer allows for clear thinking and brutal feature cuts.

Cons

Expect to be on your email from 9-Midnight - while not a 'requirement', the turn around time on expected questions from mgmt is consistent with all-the-time access. Willing to burn bridges with nearly any industry or partner in the name of better customer. This may not be a 'con' per se, but if you're in the partnership side of the business, know your personal brand may be affected.
