Pros

I just started working for Amazon within the last month. It has been amazing so far. While I can't impart long term wisdom, I can say that it is not what I thought, it is far better. I am working with amazingly talented and smart people who challenge me. My work is interesting and I feel like it makes a difference. I have perfect work life balance. And I get to have fun doing it all.

Cons

Training has been a little like flying by the seat of my pants.

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.
