      Pros

      Fast paced, huge company. There is a lot of development and expansion going on, the company is experiencing global growth.

      Cons

      There is an over emphasis placed on numbers and completing Kaizens without any being placed on personnel development and retention. With the frequent change in staff at all levels going on, it is hard to properly train and develop teams. Morale is low because no matter how hard teams work, overtime and lack of recognition are a constant. There is not a work/life balance for managers. Employee turn over at the area manager and operations manager level is high.

      Pros

      Amazon is a fast paced company where you get the opportunity to work on just about every aspect of a problem to get it done. If you have the right type of personality (I do) then this is a great chance to try out allot of different job roles without switching companies or positions.

      Cons

      Due to lack of inter-team coordination developers are often required to take on job roles that they might not be interested in or suited for. It's not uncommon to see your manager acting as a technical lead, developer, manager, project manager and marketing person all at once. Also, Amazon lacks any sort of training programs for it's staff. You won't find any sort of training programs at the company..
