Pros

They pay well. The email targeting is fascinating.

Cons

There is absolutely zero work-life balance. Pressue from management is extreme, and every department is horribly understaffed. Every employee has far too many deliverables to learn anything here; You simply get plugged into a system and have to work as hard and as fast as you can. If you are the kind of person who values a life outside of work, avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

Amazon still totally feels like a startup. There's way too much work, way too few people, and endless opportunities to improve things and make a difference. Fortunately the management is good at understanding that they need to balance projects as well as people, so you're never going to be forced into overtime you don't want to do. Working here is a total blast, the pay is good, and the people are awesome.

Cons

The chaos can be a bit confusing if you don't enjoy working in that type of environment. It's a very fast paced place, and you have to understand how to balance competing demands for your time and make judgment calls for yourself on what your time is best spent on.
