Pros

very interesting distributed system; large problems; can get work done;

Cons

sometimes hard to get all the right groups working together; I hate watching the same mistake happen just because it's a new team; operations load is non-trivial; sometimes it feels like a bad cross between a startup with not enough resources and a big company with too much bureaucracy

Pros

Amazon has consistently surpassed expectations and is one of the most exciting places to work for. As an individual Amazon greatly empowers the employees for decision making.

Cons

As a company Amazon has only recently started to really pay attention to invest in professional growth and career development. The amount of resource it spends on professional growth for employees is below the bar.
