Pros

Well paid Genuinely cannot think of any more pros

Cons

Work life balance Systems that would frequently fail No communication between teams Unsupportive management, I had a line manager who would openly berate and insult me on an open floor office Minimal training, thrown in at the deep end with little to no assistance Understaffed, workload distributed unevenly between staff

Pros

I like my team and the people I work with. I do like the daily job/what I do. Location is exciting (South Lake Union). A lot of opportunity to grow and take on more. If you work hard and do well, there's more opportunity to move up compared to more traditional companies.

Cons

All the negative things you hear about Amazon are true: high turn over, tenure is 1 year, work crazy hours, NO work-life balance, no cool benefits like company swag or free food, no appreciation for employees. It's so easy to get burnt out here and they don't care about the employee. They know that if you leave, they will easily find someone else to replace you/someone who wants to work at Amazon.

Pros

Company is growing at breakneck speed. That is all.

Cons

Due to Amazon's hunger for growth the demands placed on employees is completely unreasonable. If you want to hand over your life to a company go work for Amazon. The management do not care whether you have a life outside of the office and frequently overload an already tipping workload.
