Pros

Global scope and impact. Numerous learning, mentoring and career growth opportunities. Ability to lead autonomously in an entrepreneurial and results driven environment. Great cross-group collaboration, commitment to goals, and no drama! Well-respected by customers, sellers, vendors, competitors and employees. Strong community and philanthropic involvement and leadership. Customer obsession and other leadership principles are ingrained in the culture and in every decision.

Cons

If you're not self-motivated and if you don't have the ability to deliver results by influencing others with facts, evidence and data, then this is not the place for you. If you want to be an order-taker and be told what needs to get done, then this is not the place for you.

Pros

I have 27 years of industry experience and have worked at other large companies like Microsoft as well as at startup and I love my experience here at Amazon. After 3 years here there isn't a day when I'm not excited about going to work. As a Principal Engineer I get to set directions and best practices for a wide group of engineers. All my peers and colleagues are very professional and our Leadership Principles are a great guiding tools for all of us to resolve conflict in a coherent and respectful way.

Cons

travel policy is that we travel economy, even to Europe or India, so that sucks
