All depends on manager/team

Pros

Amazon is an amazing place to work - in some places. Everything depends on your manager, some micromanage to an incredible degree, other let their employees roam free and actually get to those "highest standards". I loved the Amazon leadership principles, which are applied to pretty much everything and give you a very clear idea on how Amazon works from day one.

Cons

However, if you work in a company as fast-paced and dynamic as this and end up in a team that is terribly micromanaged to further increase stress levels, you will get very close to breaking point. I ended it when I felt that my health and sanity were in danger, I would however have loved to transfer to a different team. Many people I know love working at Amazon and work in great teams - so look at your future superiors closely before joining. Because working here can actually be fun, although it will always be stressful.
