Pros

world wide known company,respect for the employees. It was a great experience at least for me. I started as intern and now I am SDE

Cons

I think the biggest problem at Amazon is bureaucracy. For any small thing you have to ask for the highest level.

Pros

They treat you great, allow you to make the calls, give you freedom, pay managers great, great work schedule, great work lace.

Cons

Associates are allowed to much freedom sometimes when it comes to taking time off. It's great they can manage their own time, however it really makes it hard on a manager.

Pros

This is the best place in the industry if you want to learn new things and want to explore various areas. 1. Technical learning. 2. Co-workers and interaction with them is just awesome. 3. Pace of change is good enough to force you learn new things with the same pace. 4. Compensation is cool. 5. No politics like many other big companies.

Cons

1. Work life balance gets disturbed sometimes for some people, but that too is not as much as it is hyped on Glassdoor. Just join and see. 2. On-call: Each employee gets a turn, as per which he has to respond to any critical issue within a specific time interval. Indirectly, you have to be conscious 24X7 during this time. But its not same for all the teams and teams having very critical operations get help from their US counterpart (so you need to handle it during day only).
