Pros

1) Recognition for innovation and smart work. 2) Great place to learn and experiment. 3) Working with smart people keeps you on your toes and helps you learn. 4) Fast paced culture, growth based on your performance. 5) Ease of moving across teams is great tool for the organisation and individual, employees can move to teams that offer better culture, growth and work 6) Fair HR department that focus on employee development and mitigation of concerns.

Cons

1) First few months can be a bit of challenge for new folks to adjust Amazon's culture and peculiar methods. 2) At times the work load can get overwhelming especially when there is customer impact, but this is again not by design but teams failing to do the right things. Everyone is empowered to to the right thing and make improvements.

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.
