Pros

The energy and pace of growth makes it a really exciting place to work. Coworkers are generally interesting and fun people. Work environment is casual with a true open door policy, lots of manic panic in the hair of management, and other similar monikers of a laid back internet company culture.

Cons

Communication about initiatives is a bit lacking, things move so fast you need to take responsibility for your own development. Work/life balance can get out of hand and you have to learn to place limits on your own time. If you let yourself work 24 hours a day, there's plenty of work to do but you need to manage your own time.

Pros

It is the place to learn the the latest in customer centric web technologies and online retailing. It also pays very well.

Cons

Very intense and demanding environment. Expectations of employee dedication are very high and management does not respond well work-life balance requests. Management is very intense and has very high expectations of employees and does not respond well to mistakes. It is a low margin retailing company and the perks are very small compared to other high tech companies.
