Pros

The salary is beyond great, computers and development tools are amazing. Love the company.

Cons

Wish we had better offices and free food. Amazon claims frugality is the way to go but Microsoft and Google employees enjoy much better perks.

Great place to learn, hard place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As an engineer, if you put the work in, you will learn a lot really fast, and grow quickly. Having Amazon on your resume also opens many doors.

Cons

When they say Deliver Results they mean it, its good to deliver, but have an off week, or even day, and miss a possibly already unrealistic deadline by a small amount, and you will be hearing about it. Sometimes feels like they expect engineers to be robots, not people with everyday life and stresses, and that you have to be able to crank it out every day.
