Pros

Amazon is a huge tech company that is revolutionizing different businesses and pretty much redefining those. E.g. shopping (Amazon Go), delivery (Amazon Flex), Cloud Computing (AWS) etc.

Cons

This is only based on experience in SCOT (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies) organization. -> Extremely hierarchical organization with too many reporting layers. -> Managers are almost untouchable and your personal development and career is extremely limited (if not screwed up) when having a bad or inexperienced manager. Only option is trying to change org or leave Amazon entirely. -> Unclear performance review and evaluation. -> Too many uncompleted (not fully automated) projects resulting in lots of maintenance work and frustration.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
