Pros

Hires the best. I have worked with (mostly) amazing people. That is one of the biggest pleasures of working here. There are some truly great people who work here. It's a very creative, fast paced company that expects a lot out of the people it hires, which means the people that get through are ready for a challenge.

Cons

I've seen a lot of people get burned out very quickly. Make no mistake, you work long hours and there is always something changing or improving or needing attention.

Pros

Opportunity to work with lots of super smart people Plenty of opportunity to contribute meaningfully at any level I haven't seen the problems with power plays, politics, or management egos that I hear about in other big companies.

Cons

It's a big company, and some orgs/teams are much better to work for than others. Marketplace is great. I hear great things about AWS. FBA is struggling to keep developers and good managers.
