      Pros

      Steep learning curve. You will get a chance to influence products that are being used by millions. Experience looks good on your resume.

      Cons

      I would not recommend MBA's to join Amazon. There are a few roles out there which offer good experience but overall I would say 75% chances are that you will get disappointed with your experience. Talk to your colleagues (software and product) before taking up an offer. The company is very political in director level and up. Contrary to what some say, I have experience it first hand. Smart people in the company are typically not good manager and still get promoted.

      Warzone, Petty, Terrible to Employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      average benefits but nothing compared to others in s/w industry (2007-2008 timeframe)

      Cons

      petty atmosphere, hostile/harassment behavior encouraged by some managers and ignored by others, caught management actually lying to customers and potential customers to get sales (lack of morals/ethics), cutthroat, employees told to be thrifty as reason why there are no good s/w perks in company (ie. frugal) but then treated like slaves (everyone I knew in s/w group wanted out but was too terrified to leave because they believed management spiel that they wouldn't ever get a job again)
