Pros

Growth and opportunity, if you're willing to swing away without giving up. More potential than any other company I have ever touched (consulting or working for). Long term success of the company. I truly believe that this company is very strong and will be amongst the giants soon.

Cons

Too much ego. folks that have been with Amazon for a few years have a better than thou complex. Lot's of smart people, but lacking a warrior ethos. Focus on external customer is maniacal, but internal is missing. Work Hard. Make History. Yes, I believe! Have Fun....ok, if it's up to me to do it on my own.

Pros

Culture of change. Challenging the status quo. Try different solutions to problem solving.

Cons

Unrealistic productivity rates. Walk up to 15 miles a day. Repetitive tasks. Management plays favorites. Management promises opportunity for growth, never happens. Favoritism is rampant. zero respect for the associates on the floor from managers. Treated like children. The culture is all about one-upping the next person, from senior management down to the warehouse associates, it's very demoralizing. It's who you get along with not your talents/productivity that dictates where you go in the company. They work you very, very hard....which is not a problem with me, very physically intensive.

Pros

Some of the smartest peers I have ever had. Problems can be complex and solving them can be very rewarding.

Cons

Golden Handcuffs really apply here. They pay to relocate you, a signing bonus, and RSUs to motivate you to stay for at least that long.
