Pros

The scale of the problems Amazon needs to solve are often unique. If you like large scale distributed systems you'll love working at Amazon. There's really very other places where you'll be able to have as much fun. Hours can sometimes be long, but well worth it.

Cons

Advancement is quick for the first couple of levels, but you can hit a proverbial wall once you get a more senior position.

Pros

Stocks Benefits Learning new skills Overtime pay Safety focused

Cons

Senior leadership doesn't communicate with or respect their associates. HR doesn't help the people, just the company. Amazon only cares about their bottom line. No way to get promoted above tier 3 unless you have BA and there is no college reimbursement. Cap off pay. Management curses at each other and associates. The only punishment for harassment is a "write-up".
