      Pros

      If you need a resume builder , and want to gain experience learning that things do not get fixed until t they are broken, and becoming a master at spreadsheets, then this is the place for you. If your lucky to have a good manager, then you can have a great experience.

      Cons

      Managers have no training Company is not interested in work life balance Tribal Knowledge runs deep Managers who monitor your calendars Sign on bonus is used to lock you in for years of work. No help getting an MBA

      Not a good place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is still growing strong. The core retail business is taking share in this economic down term. The Amazon web service is picking up and well positioned to compete in cloud-computing. The Kindle is catching the attention.

      Cons

      The company cares about customers, but doesn't care about its employees. A customer can easily send an email to Jeff Bezos for a very small issue, and the employees will be busy working several days just to explain to Bezos. Management rarely shows respect to employees' life. One senior VP was heard saying that he doesn't believe that there is employee morale. The company is religious about data, but not all managers are good at specifying what they want when they ask their subordinates to produce the analysis, and often change directions, which results in a waste of everybody's time. The company is very cheap, and you will understand it when you see the office and the benefits.

      Good place to work, unless you get stuck in a dead end job.

      Pros

      Many talented managers and employees. Management was generally aware of problems with technology, departmental communication, etc and worked to fix them (slowly but surely). Regular reviews of employees. Good bens (health insurance includes massage, physical therapy, mental, etc and dental is inexpensive).

      Cons

      There are a lot of dead end jobs at Amazon. Although, it seems like the potential for great career growth should be high there given the size and breadth of the company, many good employees find themselves trapped in boring, tedious jobs for way to long with no potential for recognition or advancement. Thus, it could be necessary to work at Amazon for a couple years to get that line on your resume, then go elsewhere for upward mobility, then come back later when you're qualified for a higher level position.
