Pros

It is one of the most innovative companies on the planet that never sits back and rests. Amazon has a humble approach to everything which I find very appealing in today's world of companies screaming about how great they are. Amazon also has an extremely high hiring bar, and the company is loaded with really smart people. That makes it easy to come to work in the morning.

Cons

Amazon is unlike most companies out there, and this can sometimes be a problem for new employees, especially those not right our of school and have worked at other companies. Our culture is a little different, and our priorities are little different.

Pros

The best reasons to work at Amazon would be the following: resume building, experience in a dynamic environment, where you could design and run with a project. There can be room to make your position what you'd like it to be if you're on the right team.

Cons

The downsides to working at Amazon would be the following: it's very political, there are a lot of back-stabbers, you cannot trust your peers or HR, you do not get the support you need to run projects, you don't have the tools you need to do your job, and the constant changes make some processes very manual.

Pros

You work with lots of smart people who really want to do a good job. We really are customer focused, which makes you proud of the work you've done at the end of a long day. Nearly limitless possibilities for moving around internally and learning new skills.

Cons

Benefits are decent but uninspired. No tele-commuting, no paid educational benefits, no charitable matches.
