Pros

Extremely challenging in many regards. Lots of very smart, hard-working and dedicated people. Lots of interesting technology.

Cons

Extremely challenging in many regards. We demand a lot of ourselves and each other. The work/life balance can get out of whack pretty easily.

Pros

Good pay. Good benifits. Great people. This company is a very good place to work. If you get a chance to work for Amazon.com DO IT!

Cons

During there down seasons they cut your hours. There peak seasons are around Christmas and mid summer. During other times you may see a big drop in hours. They just dont have the orders to put out sometimes. It verys week to week. Late Jan. my hours droped to about 25 a week. There was one week that I only had 12 hours. That is the only reason why I had to quit. It was one of the biggest mistakes in my life.
