Pros

- You can learn a lot very quickly in a very short time - Surrounded with nothing but incredibly smart and driven individuals. - Compensation is well beyond my expectations, and more than suitable. - Exciting projects all across the company that keep you interested and focused. - Amazon is changing the world

Cons

- Can be overwhelming, very steep learning curve - Can be difficult to keep up if you are not self motivated

Pros

Lots to learn, good in level growth (but promotions can be more challenging), interesting work, great scale and impact, Good compensation if the stock goes up, 6 weeks parental leave

Cons

Amazon demands a lot from their employees. Managers work easily 50 - 60+ per week over a long time (6+ month or some permanently). A lot of burnouts and overworked managers. Health benefits are not good (look into the details!)
