      Great for the resume if your psyche can handle it.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work at Amazon would be the following: resume building, experience in a dynamic environment, where you could design and run with a project. There can be room to make your position what you'd like it to be if you're on the right team.

      Cons

      The downsides to working at Amazon would be the following: it's very political, there are a lot of back-stabbers, you cannot trust your peers or HR, you do not get the support you need to run projects, you don't have the tools you need to do your job, and the constant changes make some processes very manual.

      Pros

      You work with lots of smart people who really want to do a good job. We really are customer focused, which makes you proud of the work you've done at the end of a long day. Nearly limitless possibilities for moving around internally and learning new skills.

      Cons

      Benefits are decent but uninspired. No tele-commuting, no paid educational benefits, no charitable matches.

      Great place to work and make history, but doesn't leave that much time for fun.

      Pros

      Fast paced dynamic environment. Smart co-workers. Strong sense of ownership in the decentralized model lends itself to designing and writing better software. Flexibility to explore alternate career paths.

      Cons

      - Benefits are poor. The 401k match is just 2%. Medical and dental plans are pretty ordinary. - Pager duty. Getting paged 40 times a week can be annoying. - Work/Life balance. I find myself working long hours more often than not.
