Pros

Decent pay and benefits. The 4 day work week and occasional overtime was nice. They dangle stock in front of you, but no-one stays long enough to get it. Break rooms decent.

Cons

Utterly ridiculous production standards. Don't get injured on the job or ill from their non air conditioned sweat shop DC's. If you do, your promptly shown the door. Amazon does practice age discrimination. EVERYONE fired from my group at the San Bernardino DC was all over the age of 50. Just another sweat shop with an over hyped name. Amazon does not value loyalty or long term employees, especially older workers.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
