Pros

At amazon one can get a great team to work with. Its always a day 1 and everyone is learning from the failures. Its a most customer centric and data driven environment here. And your growth is in your hands. Same with projects, grow your own baby.

Cons

Growing your baby own your own is not easy, same with amazon work culture. There is a continues sweat. One need to be expert in data oriented to follow the trends and continuously invent and simplify.

Pros

Like all jobs, whether you enjoy it or not depends on your specific team. I've been very fortunate to be in a team full of amazing people who are very welcoming and supporting. My manager schedules weekly one-on-ones with every team member, and we constantly talk about ways we can improve/career opportunities at work. It's also very easy to talk to senior management, as almost everyone is open to hearing you out if you have comments. This was definitely one thing I loved about Amazon culture. As a fresh grad surrounded by 30-some year olds who have way more work experience than I do, I loved that they treated me as an equal and never looked down on any of my input.

Cons

Not so much of a con to me, but to some: You need to be able to carve your own path, if you want to take a different direction, you can't wait for someone to do it for you. If you're running low on work/projects, you need to step up and ask for more. People also don't show up to meetings on time. If you schedule a meeting at 2pm, know that it'll start at 2:10 or 2:15.

Pros

– You work amongst some of the smartest people you will ever meet. – Hours are fine and flexible if you have a close knit team. If you get the work done, then time is not an issue of when you leave or come into work. – Many of workshops and events to keep the staff happy – A number of people is unreal. There are so many side communities you can join that is to your interest. – Work is always challenging and keeps you on the ball – Salary is generous and expected from a large tech company. – Stocks are great on signing. And they keep going up so get in quick!

Cons

– Make sure that you manage and estimate your workload properly. If you don't, you will be punished and will overwork. This is a con if you make it. – Hiring bar is high, therefore hiring new team members can sometimes be hard. But hiring the best is important I guess. – No free food like other tech companies. But I guess that's a bonus and not a con.
