Pros

Pay can increase fairly quickly for top candidates with strong education and experience.Health insurance, retirement and vacation, are extremely competitive with, if not superior to, other sectors.Ownership - Amazon treats you like an owner - a grown up. You have a job to do and you are empowered to do it.

Cons

Everybody at Amazon is juggling so much and constantly writing high quality documents can get exhausting. The secret here, as in any job, is to balance the strategic against the operational and prioritize ruthlessly. I cannot say I was always effective at it - but I tried till my last day and now have the benefit of hind sight as well :-)

Pros

Very international, decent compensation, fast-paced, learn a lot. Terrific colleagues with diverse experience and backgrounds.

Cons

Growing too fast, so badly understaffed in most departments, especially ones that have anything to do with operations. Inadequate reporting and IT infrastructure. For a company of this size, not enough has been invested in business reporting software and databases.
