      Pros

      It is a fun, fast paced environment. Lots of opportunities to advance with the rotational program which really gets the creative juices flowing and moving between teams. People are highly motivated and want to change the world, very serious about the company mission. Everyone is treated with respect and team environment is great. Relaxed work environment, I can chat with anyone around me and listen to my music, then go out to happy hour after work with some coworkers.

      Cons

      They work you very hard, you're expected to work a ton of overtime. Company isn't growing at breakneck speed of early 2000 so opportunity for advancement is not as big. Very very high hiring bar.

      Great place to work if you are creative and also execute on you ideas. Mere visionaries will find it hard.

      Pros

      It is a big start up company. Original ideas are respected and you see the sprite and growth of a start up company. Unlike many high tech companies that I have worked - I like the frugal ways of Amazon. It is more long lasting that way and enhances the share holder value in the long run and as an employee you do hold a large amount of company stock. There are lot of new initiatives which keeps the innovation level very high. At the same time mere visionaries and arm chair thinkers have no chance of surviving in the company. Innovation is only respected if you can execute.

      Cons

      The operational aspects get to you sometimes.

      Great company to work for but also depends on the groups you will join

      Pros

      Its growth will bring a lot of opportunities for future career advancement. Fast pace and dynamic work environment.

      Cons

      I dont know which group I am going to work with until a few weeks before starting my job. Some groups sucks and I cannot do anything with that except waiting until it is time to move out to other groups.
