      Pros

      Great place to get started. You can work with a lot of difference technologies and get the Amazon stamp of approval on your resume.

      Cons

      My personal experience as an SDE Intern screened me from a lot of the downsides of working at Amazon, but I know many other fellow interns whom had to work continuous extra hours (all the time, not just at push). In addition the Amazon work model lends itself to being "on-call" - a.k.a. giving up your personal life for a week once every two months to support your team's software.

      Pros

      I got paid weekly, there was a $2 premium for night shifts.

      Cons

      The only con was the 2 hour commute to and from work.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
