Pros

Despite having a bad experience I would still recommend working at Amazon. I can only speak for my experience within my team, not the entire company. Some Pros are: You have the opportunity to invent and not be tied down by too many processes and paperwork. Great internal resources and tools to grow. A lot of talented team members. Fun work environment. Compensation and benefits are very competitive.

Cons

I have seen too many full time employees transfer out of a dept or leave the company. All blame work/life balance. There seems to be this "boil the ocean" mentally with leadership. People I know including myself, worked 10-12 hour days and weekends just to keep up with the demand. This was just peaks and valleys based on project phases. This was constant. Its all about driving results with no consideration to the toll it takes on the team.

Pros

It's great being an Amazon customer Amazon is an interesting place to work and a great brand Technology is often cutting edge General talent level of employees is very high A good place for people who want to 'make things happen' A good place to learn

Cons

No always great being an Amazon employee Quality of Amazon mgrs, directors and VPs is very uneven (some great, some are simply terrible) Product focus is often short-term (get something shipped, and we'll fix it later..) Employees are treated a bit like contractors (little real investment in employees) Amazon benefits are worse than nearly all comparable companies On-going financial incentives are heaped on the top of the pyramid- not the rank and file (negotiate hard before accepting a job) Amazon rarely helps an outside cause, the community or a charity Amazon is not particularly concerned about who it steps on as a consequence of its ambition
