Pros

Amazon is a great place to learn new technologies, to get hands on experience in design, development, support. It is also great place where everyone is owner and contribute towards companies vision.

Cons

Amazon is too much frugal in all its aspects. They tripled transportation cost to employees but never increased employee health, internet benefits. But most of the employees employees really don't care about it much.

Pros

Build systems that impact a lot of people and do huge things. If your team isn't making millions of dollars a year, you'll be on a new team soon. Coworkers who range from competent to excellent. Decent pay for the area.

Cons

If you're on a team with bad managers you will hate life. At least there is a new policy allowing you to transfer ASAP, which you should do. (- culture/values) Things are a bit too team dependent. I'm on a team I like. There are other teams that cannot retain people at all because their managers straight up suck at their jobs. (- senior management)(- culture/values) Comp is decent but not competitive with google/facebook/uber. (- comp rating) Crunch time is a management failure so you can expect to see it a few times a year. (- work/life)
