      You'll always be challenged and empowered at Amazon, but make sure you take your career growth in your own hands.

      Pros

      Amazon has consistently surpassed expectations and is one of the most exciting places to work for. As an individual Amazon greatly empowers the employees for decision making.

      Cons

      As a company Amazon has only recently started to really pay attention to invest in professional growth and career development. The amount of resource it spends on professional growth for employees is below the bar.

      Pros

      I really appreciate the customer focus.

      Cons

      While they pride themselves on long-term strategy, it's not a universal theme, and many areas are too focused on short-term success. Not enough clear organization and planning, poor communication.

      Pros

      I am a Software Engineer, and I love working at Amazon. There are a lot of smart people that work at Amazon. We are very focused on working on things that are very important to the company's core businesses, but willing to create new ways to expand the business. Not a lot of theory, all practical engineering. Most of the time, I am driven to complete projects because they are interesting and important. I very rarely don't care about what I'm working on and need to be pushed into doing something. Most people that work there can operate independently, and those that can't usually don't like it very much. I am very independent and self-motivated, so I love not having a boss tell me what needs to be done all the time. There is a flip side to that though- sometimes I feel like my boss doesn't necessarily know what needs to be done.

      Cons

      The culture has changed quite a bit in the last two years. A lot more project managers that aren't especially knowledgeable about software have come on. There can be a tendency for things to get political between organizations.
