      Hardest job I've ever had - but worth it.

      Pros

      Extremely challenging in many regards. Lots of very smart, hard-working and dedicated people. Lots of interesting technology.

      Cons

      Extremely challenging in many regards. We demand a lot of ourselves and each other. The work/life balance can get out of whack pretty easily.

      Pros

      A few years ago, the best reasons were because it was exciting. The company was at a make or break point and I had a chance to make a difference in the "make."

      Cons

      Loads of face time with little getting done by most. Very limited opportunity for advancement. Lots of middle management that claim credit for the work their staff did - including BRAIN POWER. This is one of the most frustrating things.

      Amazon: The big company that thinks it's a little company

      Pros

      The entreprenuerial culture makes Amazon a great place to grow your career if you're the kind of person who will not only pick up the ball and run with it, but will make the ball in the first place. If you're looking for someone to lead you by the hand, though, Amazon's not for you.

      Cons

      The company can be frugal to the point of being penny-wise and pound-foolish, and communication between orgs isn't great. Maintaining work-life balance is also difficult, though in my experience not as tough as it's sometimes cracked up to be--you just need to set and maintain the boundaries that work for you. I'm in a fairly supportive group, though--I've heard horror stories from colleagues in other areas of the company, and there's a ton of turnover in some areas.
