      A great place to work if you can get through the initial fire drills

      Pros

      Innovation, innovation, innovation. Work hard. Have fun. Make history. It truly still is "day 1" at Amazon. Amazon loves to try new things and we give people room to fail. Failure is important if one learns from the mistakes. And every now and then great new ideas are born. Look at Web Services, look at things like Mechanical Turk. These are awesome, awesome projects to work on. Amazon has some of the smartest people in the industry. Think of what you can do when you are together with so many great minds!

      Cons

      The amount of work is often borderline insane and we have a tendency to burn out people. We need to watch this.

      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.
