      Pros

      Employees are encouraged to demonstrate leadership skills at any job level. Encourages knowledge sharing, changing of job roles and internal transfers. Amazon maintains internal wiki, which contains lots of information, it is useful during initial learning curve for new employees

      Cons

      Amazon is fast paced, so documentation is not thorough for some components. Lots of knowledge would come from experience using different tools or discussing with senior peers.

      Pros

      There are many things to work on in Amazon - there are few problems that are well solved and do not require further innovation. This can be a huge benefit when you come in to Amazon, there will definitely be something to which you can apply yourself.

      Cons

      A negative is that often you are dealing with all of the daily work and don't have the chance to make framework improvements or large-scale changes to the software you are working on. Too often stuck with finer details and management may not make time for the larger changes.

      Pros

      Amazon is pushing the envelope with new technology especially in the cloud computing and ebook space. Amazon has many interesting projects to take advantage of all the interesting information it has on its user base.

      Cons

      Amazon can be extremely stressful and political. Personal freedom to get interesting work done has virtually disappeared in the recent past.
