Pros

You have lots of great coworkers. The pay is nice. You get to learn a lot. Amazon is a good company to work for. You get to meet a lot of great, intelligent people. While the job is stressful, it's worth it.

Cons

Sometimes long, unpredictable hours. Sometimes hard to balance family/friends with work. Prioritizing what is most important to me. Coworkers can be stubborn at times, but only because everyone is intelligent and thinks in different ways.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to grow your career, lots of intelligent people to work with, and managers are usually very reasonable and considering. Not much politics at all. And of course CEO is the top notch one with great vision.

Cons

Oncall sometimes could be a little bit invasive to your personal life but still manageable after you know what you are doing. Benefits is good but not great.
