Pros

-Opportunity to work on some of the industry's biggest problems -You will absolutely get to work with the top 20% of co-workers who you can learn from -Energizing environment that makes you want to go further -If ever there was a company designed around avoiding any hint of micromanagement, this is it.

Cons

-The fast pace and self-serve model isn't for everyone (I happen to love it) -There aren't as many perks as some other companies -It can be hard to figure out who you need to talk to or where to go to find information -If you need to grow a team, it can be hard to recruit rapidly

Pros

Work with very smart people Tons of resources Large scale problems to solve

Cons

Management as a skill isn't cultivated or much valued Directors and above too often lack engineering skills and ability to manage tech well Tyranny of the xls--lots of decisions affecting employee experience are made to save Amazon costs but make working there harder, like ceiling annual 401k contributions below federal limits so Amazon can save money on the plan
