Pros

-strong leadership and organizational alignment around goals -empowerment with a lot of responsibility and autonomy in defining work/improving the product/improving the organization -supportive management -highly passionate and intelligent co-workers -great pay and stock options -cool workspaces in Seattle -fancy tech (nice laptop/mouse/keyboards/monitors/etc.) -free snacks (team dependent) -great place to learn -can work whenever (as long as you're pulling your weight)

Cons

-not as many perks as other tech companies (but aside from free food, I wonder how many you'd actually use) -"move fast" approach, which means things can sometimes be done hastily in the interest of delivering results quickly -nobody expects you to work past 9AM-5PM, but you might need to do that to get your work done depending on how fast you work

Pros

You will learn a lot working in Amazon. It's a great stepping stone for future career opportunities.

Cons

Amazon only matches 50% of your 401K contribution (up to 2.5% max if you contribute 5%). In some orgs, there is too much time spent on writing and revising a MBR doc. This disrupts productivity flow on projects.
