      Pros

      It was a nice place to work and the environment was really really good, got may friends and many more to say

      Cons

      Nothing special or point-able to say, need to share about your future plans to the employees, new plans has to be discussed with all the employees...

      Pros

      - Coworkers are generally very bright--it's very hard to get into Amazon, so most of the people you meet will be very intelligent - Great brand name on your resume--everyone knows Amazon - You can learn a lot about ecommerce, as Amazon is by far the leader in this space - If you play your cards right, there is lots of opportunity to move around, as Amazon is growing rapidly - Jeff Bezos is brilliant. For all of the company quirks, he is a long-term thinker and actually cares about growing the company in spite of the fact that he has little-to-no financial incentive at this point

      Cons

      - Work-life balance is a crapshoot, though generally skewed towards the work side; the high turnover is indicative of how stressful life at Amazon can be - Office politics can make life miserable; because Amazon is made up of lots of small teams (two-pizza rule), you need to have a boss that has your back, otherwise you will get screwed - Because the company is engineering driven, a lot of the processes are manual (as other reviewers point out). This means that you will find yourself doing obscure SQL queries and making giant spreadsheets that don't add value--but are a part of the job. This makes some of the more interesting analysis-focused jobs more about cleansing metrics instead of analyzing them
