Pros

Amazon has a unique culture of everyone working towards a common goal of being earth's most customer centric company. It's amazing to see a company of this size that has people at almost every level who are aligned to Amazon's way of working.

Cons

It's a really big wheel for the sheer size of the company and it's business. Hence takes a lot of hands to turn this wheel and keep moving it forward.

Pros

High degree of ownership within your team and project, lots of opportunities for growth and learning, solid pay and benefits. Work/life balance is good but very dependent on your team and manager.

Cons

No free food and very few levels means getting an important sounding title is hard. If that's really what motivates you in your career, you're in the wrong place.

Pros

The company is really energetic and supportive of creativity, and my colleagues get things done. Leaders can be convinced to change their minds if you put together a good case.

Cons

A lot of strong-willed people, so if you want something, you have to be able to speak up. That intensity is a positive for me, but for some personalities it would be too hard.
