Pros

Safety first! Time-off requests handled well. Due to overtime, some of your coworkers will become like family. I have created several relationships at this company that will last a lifetime. Amazon.com is a customer-centric company. I take pride in knowing I am part of a company that

Cons

-Safety seems to be stressed only to avoid liability. -Management postions are given exclusively to outside hires. -Assignments can become tedious exercises that serve no other purpose than being "busy work." -Human Resources is nearly impossible to contact, and when you have finally have they treat you like a child. -From managers to warehouse associates, Amazon.com moves people around as they see fit. My schedule has changed five times in four years which has caused me to to lose touch with my family and friends. This company asks for you to sacrifice so much, yet does little to reward you other than the occasional shirt or slice of pizza. -I have not had a raise in two years. While the company rakes in billions, we peons are left with the crumbs.

Pros

challenging, great people, complex problems

Cons

don't find pay to be awarded in-line with the level of responsibility, all teams under resourced (deliberately, to stimulate more efficient work practice) but this policy is bordering on sadism in some teams where we have less than half the number people that we actually require to do the job effectively.

Pros

Provides opportunity to work with very smart people. Best part is to be able to move around within the company and work at other groups. Since the company has a lot of diverse functions - retail, AWS etc, you don't have to be stuck with the same group for many years.

Cons

A few groups might be uninteresting to work for.
