      Pros

      Amazon has a great future and it is exciting to be a part of that.

      Cons

      We are a very frugal company, but I would rather be in business then have to be making cuts.

      Hard work will pay off.

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Amazon is that it gives you the ability to control your own destiny. If you are assertive and hard working then you will go places, just keep up the hard work and people will notice.

      Cons

      There are some issues with work-life balance for some employees. Although hard work does speak loudly, there is a level of politics that still goes on that is distracting, demoralizing and old school business.

      Pros

      I highly recommend Amazon. As an engineer, you have a vast amount of resources and tools to get the job done and the infrastructure is such that you don't have to bug IT to install this and that on your servers (unlike other companies). Your team takes ownership of almost every aspect of your product, so there is a lot of opportunity to improve how it runs with limited red tape. There is a huge emphasis on working on large-scale systems which is both fun and an educational experience.

      Cons

      As owner of your product, your team will also respond to downtime, most likely with a pager rotation. Depending on your team, you might experience some micromanagement from the Senior Management, but in my experience it happened on an occasion rather than constant basis. Also, sometimes the autonomy that teams have can be detrimental to cooperation. Some times work is duplicated instead of shared properly.
