Pros

You have the opportunity to work with some really smart people. Everyone in finance was really freindly and created a great work environment.

Cons

Budget cuts every couple of years would interfere with department operations (including travel). It seems like one year they would spend like crazy only to tighten the belt too much the next.

Pros

Depending on the functional group you work, your experiences may differ. Clearly, Amazon is a engineers driven company - Extremely sharp people. Some of the best you can find. - Some of them are very creative in problem solving - Generally, a very cohesive work group. - If you want to work on cutting edge stuff, this is the place. Tons of resume value. Trust me, folks outside respect the Amazon talent.

Cons

Again, depends on your role. If you are middle manager and above, - it can be frustrating to convince so many diff teams to build some stuff for you. - bureaucratic at times.

Pros

decent pay. good training. fun people to work with. good benifits and stock options after full time.

Cons

schedules are not that great. you get schedules by bidding for them - if you dont have great scores you get bad hours. cant take time off if you dont have any banked. it is a call center - its not for everyone.
