Amazon reviews

At Amazon innovation and efficiency are prized. Amazon's customer obsession is a big positive. The company prefers to invest in long term decisions which are positive for customers over short term decisions which may give the company a temporary boost. While no company is a true meritocracy, Amazon does a great job of rewarding performance and delivery of results. You will also get to work with very smart people at Amazon. There's always an opportunity to learn from your peers or management. There are many mechanisms for feedback and your job will have a lot of visibility and potential for impact.

Challenging work, very high hiring bar, difficult to get a job there, but once you do, you will be working with the top talent in the industry. Many different profit centers within the company (vs. Google, which is highly dependent on ad revenue almost exclusively) and lots of innovation, so there are always new projects going on in almost every area of the company. Amazon has arguably the best cloud computing environment in the industry and is the industry leader in online retail (both the bread-and-butter of the company), but also does many other things (third party merchants, eCommerce platform, subidiaries such as IMDb, A9, etc.).
