Benefits, Perks, People, Office Space, Location, Product, Financial Backing of Amazon.com

Cons

Growing really fast and adding a ton of headcount ever week. The office is starting to get crowded. Our desire is to launch a ton of new initiatives in 2016, but many of them are falling significantly behind schedule. Mgmt seems to have bitten off more than it can chew. Rumors of slower growth, but I think we are still #1 in our industry.
