Pros

Amazon work groups have great autonomy to work independently and provide superior results. We are empowered via the Amazon leadership principles to place big bets and take calculated risks. Amazon is a technology company. As a technologist, I can think of no greater company to work for. Living and working in Seattle at Amazon headquarters is an invigorating experience on many levels: technical challenges, technical autonomy, decision making clear down to the engineering level, freedom to do the right thing, no dress code, and downtown Seattle culture including restaurants, activities, the Pacific Ocean, and a view of stunning mountain ranges.

Cons

Because it's always Day One at Amazon, there is a lot of chaos. One must recognize this and learn to thrive in the midst of the chaos.

Pros

Amazing culture and values. Employees are given autonomy and responsibility quickly with lots of opportunity to advance soley based on your merits and not time at the company or seniority. The team works hard, has fun, and makes a difference.

Cons

At times can be hard to navigate given how much autonomy teams have. You will be given more work until you find your work/life harmony.

Pros

I work with brilliant driven individuals all over the world to solve challenging interesting problems. Internal transfers to other roles and other organizations are encouraged.

Cons

Amazon will work you as much as you allow. Everyone has 100 things to do each week and time to do 20 of them. Being able to prioritize and enforce your boundaries is critical to not burning out.
