Pros

The workplace is like no other, and the people that I worked with were all very intelligent. It was a pleasure working with all of them.

Cons

Sometimes the hours were rough. We had to put in 11 hour days to complete a project occasionally. That was the only tough part.

Pros

Freedom to run your own recruiting strategy casual dress dogs are allowed working with smart people Industry leader, easy sell to candidates flexibility around schedule when you need it Great place to work if you are crazy about recruiting and want no life No micromanagement

Cons

no direction minimal support treated like a number no training Was placed in wrong role per my background, Feeling that no one cares if you're successful or not Do not get the "team" atmosphere feeling High level of competition for candidates, no team focus or strategy. Very long hours, not a good work life balance I would not recommend Amazon as a place to work to friends or families

Pros

Good company that is growing fast and expanding. Has the potential to be a great company, Lot's of opportunity to move and grow in your career with good stock benefits if it keeps dominating the market.

Cons

Immaturity and Politics could kill this place. It runs a bit like a high school clique.The company is getting too big to continue to run on personal relationships so infrastructure is badly needed.
