Pros
Benefits and salaries are a huge plus, even at lower levels. There are complaints about Amazon on the salary level, but they tend to stay competitive in what we do. I wish I had more to say here, but really the benefits are some of the only things keeping me at Amazon.
Cons
The culture at Amazon is strange. The life cycle of someone's career at Amazon probably starts with enthusiasm, followed by months of downtrodden depression as management burns everything wrong with what you're doing into your mind. Then, you become invigorated to quit, before subsequently staying with Amazon in the hopes that you might be able to move departments or promote, only to stay where you are. Then the cycle repeats. Work-life balance can be non-existent if you let it rule you, as the easy availability of messaging apps means your higher-ups are practically a text away.
