Pros

Amazon will offer you more money than you ever expected and entice you with sign on bonuses and stock packages that almost double your salary the first couple of years.

Cons

THEY ARE NOT EVOLVING. Everything with their leadership principles does not apply to upper leadership. The entire experience is about becoming an Amazonian - aka - don't think for yourself. Don't every think outside of the box, and whatever you do, don't try to collaborate. My entire experience was the worst with cold people, competition, rules that cannot be broken or changed, even if they are outdated ways of thinking. The few who still held on to a bit of their authenticity were hard to find, but they were constantly in fear and struggling.

Pros

Great place to work with some ver smart and talented people and learn a lot.

Cons

Hyper competitive bunch as the system is set to that way. Also, attracts managers who are not, lets say, wholesome, and if you end up reporting to one of these, change teams or design an exit plan.
