Pros

Stable, OT usually readily available, best wage you'll generally find with no qualifications. Get to know your coworkers and PA's, it'll make the days much friendlier.

Cons

Busy work, productivity metrics, low opportunities to advance, holiday seasons, no bonuses.

Pros

Amazon operates at a scale few companies can match. The problems are real, complex, and high impact. If you like ownership, you’ll get it early and often. Leaders are pushed to think in terms of inputs, long-term value, and measurable outcomes. The bar for analytical rigor is high, which sharpens your decision-making skills quickly. You learn how to write clearly, defend your assumptions, and tie strategy to metrics. Strong exposure to senior leadership is possible if you deliver results. Compensation is competitive, especially with equity upside. The talent density is strong, and you work with people who move fast and think structurally.

Cons

The pace can be intense and sustained. Priorities shift quickly, and ambiguity is constant. Work-life balance varies significantly by team and org.
