Pros

- High caliber of employees - Wide range of responsibilities expected of everyone - Good compensation - Fast-paced environment

Cons

- Work overload. No boundaries when it comes to working nights, weekends, and any time you may want to have a non-Amazon thought. This is after 12.5 years in 6 different departments. - Cut Throat - the culture there is intense, and not for the fainthearted. Since there is a strict policy of cutting the bottom 10 percent per year, it creates an environment where managers are _looking_ for someone faltering. - Customer-Not employee-centric.

Pros

for those who can't get better places/companies

Cons

-- middle management is completely corrupted with politics -- managers will take the credit from your work and dump the discredits to you -- as big as Microsoft but no monopoly product in the market
