Pros

- Their SDE intern compensation and relocation benefits are really great. - I interned at Amazon Instant Video and you get an all access test account (basically you can watch anything from Amazon Instant Video :)

Cons

There intern to full time conversion rate is extremely low. You might learn a lot but be sure that there's a risk of not getting a full time.

Pros

Smart people, excellent location in Seattle and room to try multiple divisions in the company. Lots of employee groups to match your interests.

Cons

Poor management, lack of guidance and cohesion. The review process is ghastly. Very unhappy under appreciated people. Read the NY Tomes article that came out in 2015

Pros

Amazon.com does get software out the door, but the attitude is to push things out as fast as possible and then leave someone else to clear up the mess.

Cons

Management want employees to bad mouth each other. Really! Management get together once a year to decide whether each group manager has to fire 10% or whatever of his workers. Some groups lose 60% of their staff a year. Management are slow to act before problems. When problems they only think about who they can blame.
