Pros

There is a tremendous pool of talent working for Amazon. Anyone joining the company will be able to make a contribution from day one, while being able to take on responsibility early on. The opportunities for personal development are many.

Cons

The base pay isnt great. The share package seems attractive, however, you salary increases and incremental share grants take into the account the shares which you have already been issued, so in reality, there is no upside if the share price outperforms.

Pros

Looks great on a resume. If you can survive at Amazon, you can be successful most anywhere.

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance. I'm not just speaking for my personal experience...this is accross the company at all levels and in almost all positions. The philosophy at Amazon is "live to work" NOT "work to live". Also...there is a very adversarial relationship between the internal customers and HR and business partners are completely disrespectful, bordering on abusive.
