      Pros

      Everyday at Amazon was a challenge, but in a good way. I enjoyed the people a lot...and there were a lot of interesting people that worked in Seattle. The development community was always there to help. Same goes for managers and top execs.

      Cons

      Used to be a small development shop. It is now a larger corporation, and feels like it. There is a lot of red tape getting things done, especially when projects collide and require the same resources. If it is a "Jeff" project, those always seem to win.

      Excellent place to work with great starting pay with slightly too much demand for your personal time.

      Pros

      Amazon provides excellent starting salaries to interns and recent college grads. The benefits and moving packages are excellent and they help you get settled in. The atmosphere is comfortable. While you are only one person in a large company you will find it easy to meet others and they do a good job of helping you feel like part of the team.

      Cons

      The excellent starting pay may not increase as much as you would like it too after working there for a while. If your team is small expect to be on call a lot and when you are on call expect there to be a lot of problems and little sleep.

      Pros

      Its a fairly decent company to work for although it can get crazy and hectic come the holidays. The pay scale is fairly average I suppose however for the amount of work that you're required to do (ie putting in OT alot) and constantly changing work schedules (tends to change every 6-8 months) and dealing with angry customers makes it seem below average. Communication between management and employees can go either way. All in all not a bad place to work.

      Cons

      Schedules being changed every 6-8 months and the stress of dealing with really angry customers.
