Pros

Lot's to learn from so many smart people around you. Challenging projects and exciting to be part of such a well-known company doing such innovative things.

Cons

Career growth and promotion is a long and arduous struggle if you live outside of Seattle. Your promo is not only tied to your performance but to the scope of your role in the next level. It is difficult to add large/global scope if you operate from a remote office.

Pros

Jeff Bezos and his "S-Team" are brilliant and continue to make great decisions for long-term growth. You work with smart people, you work on exciting projects, you are pushed to your limits...which can be rewarding when you accomplish great things. The diversity of the potential work and innovation can be very alluring. I've often called Amazon my "Sexy Mistress...she's emotionally abusive, but she's so sexy that I go back for more punishment."

Cons

The management process is abusive, and I'm currently a manager. I've seen too much "behind the wall" and hate how our individual performers can be treated. You are forced to ride people and stack rank employees...I've been forced to give good employees bad overall ratings because of politics and stack ranking.
