Pros

Amazon is a great company with an elite operations arm.

Cons

Shift life can be rough for individuals with families. You have little say in which shift you will be working and I have found a lack of a succession planning for the more desirable shifts.

A big pond, even if you're a big fish!

Pros

Innovative, lots of career opportunity, decent pay, better than average benefits. Exponential company expansion: every day there seems to be an entirely new group or division created.

Cons

Expect to work more than the average 40 hour work week. HR department is a disorganized nightmare. It's easy to become pigeon-holed into a role or group, making it difficult to advance out of that group. Even intelligent, hard-working "super-star" employees are lost in the shuffle at Amazon because nearly everyone working here is like that, making it nearly impossible to stand out.
