Pros

The work is very interesting and challenging. My colleagues are very nice and helpful. The working location is also good.

Cons

You need to work very hard in the team. Sometimes you need to work during weekends. So, if you want an easy life, it is not a good choice.

Pros

Fast moving company, lean organization, professional management, very innovative and a great learning environment.

Cons

Lean (overworked) organization, lack of sufficient focus on the long term impact, very rigid schedules, lack of testing (leading to lots of operational overhead), better for someone straight out of school than experienced, salary is not great.

Pros

Jeff Bezos has a great vision. These are the smartest, most motivated, and professional people that I have ever worked with. Amazon puts the customer first. There are a bunch of great projects to work on.

Cons

Work style is confrontational. Entire company is micromanaging everyone else.
