Pros

Amazon cares about its employees. There is an environment where you can succeed no mater your age, race, gender etc.. I'm living proof as I started my career here at age 58. You are free to challenge traditional thinking and win! If you like working at a fast pace with an ever-changing landscape where you can make a difference, this is the place for you!

Cons

Change is constant. If you don't do well with change, Amazon is not the place for you.

Pros

Amazon is the best place I've worked for teaching and requiring people to be intelligent and thoughtful in their business decisions. If you want to learn how to think and execute intelligently, go to Amazon, learn how to structure your thinking in written formats (business docs), and you'll come out much better for it.

Cons

Amazon gets a bad reputation as being "too intense". I'd say that it's not intense, just focused. The majority of employees are good people and enjoyable to be around, and they care very strongly about furthering the company's success.

Pros

I worked in the Biz Dev side of the AWS partner team for 2.5 years and loved it. The pace of innovation at AWS is mind blowing. The products and services that the team works with are market leading and the opportunity before AWS is staggering. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2.5 years there and would have happily stayed for me. I was scooped up by an AWS partner to lead an even bigger opportunity. I'd highly recommend time at AWS!

Cons

AWS lives by its Leadership Principles which is mostly a good thing. If these principles resonate with you then you'll be good. If they do not then don't work there. However, there is no Principle around treating employees well. The closest is Hire & Develop the Best but that does not quite mean treating employees with respect. Within some groups at AWS it can be quite harsh. That was not my experience but I heard of people that had a rough time. AWS is not for everyone but for me it was fantastic.
