If you don't drink the Kool-Aid, forget it - Executive Assistant Amazon Employee Review

Pros

Interesting work with some interesting co-workers.

Cons

Poor total compensation (distorted blend of low cash with stock) unless you are an executive. Very passive-aggressive culture that thrives on strategically knifing your competition in the back (this means co-workers). Unless you drink the cool-aid that all things "Jeff" are great, and continually mouth the Jeff platitudes, you will not get anywhere. Plan on working 24/7 while hearing from your boss that work/life balance is important.

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.
