Pros

It is a delight working for a company making difference. Love that they are always upgraded with latest technologies. Techies also get a good insight into the business details of product.

Cons

1. Might need to stretch a bit in terms of hours during critical projects leading to mental stress. 2. Our senior management lacks long term vision of product which leads to distrust in amazon(not specific to whole Amazon)

Pros

I get bored easily, so Amazon is perfect for me. As soon as I get comfortable with something, I am given a new project that seems almost unrecognizable to the last. I learn so much, out of both necessity and curiosity -- there are always people to learn from, new challenges to take on, and chances to really feel like an owner, not just a contributor.

Cons

Amazon is a huge company. How enjoyable it is to work here is largely dependent on the team you're on -- not that some teams suck, but team culture varies widely, and you have to find teams that suit you.
