Commitment to customer excellence. Ability to effect change at all levels. Maintaining an entrepreneurial spirit in a large company. Amazing growth potential. Opportunities to grow in role and experience Globally

Cons

Frugality principle at times leads teams to worry small savings immediately and miss the larger longer term financial impact.

Pros

The management is amazing and the internship experience is equally amazing. I have learned more at the company in 3 months than I did in my entire degree in college.

Cons

The job is in Seattle and as everyone knows, the weather there isn't amazing. Also not a big fan of the city.

Pros

Coming from MSFT as a Program Manager, I find Amazon's focus on the customer to be an amazing and generally fulfilling experience. - Generally work / life balance is OK, with peaks and valleys (peaks near launch obviously). - Salary is better than I had before, so no complaints - Health is OK (though I had Premiera @ MSFT, so hard to compete w/that) - Stock is good - for now.

Cons

- Commute is OK if bus, poor if driving (I live on the East side). I do miss the Connector & its WIFI, though I get by with tethering to my phone - Overall compensation system is confusing -> if I do really well one year I may not get that much @ review time in stock b/c AMZN looks at the overall compensation w/your existing grants included..? - Promotion model seems to require 100% approval from everyone who can comment (including folks that did not work w/the person).
