      Make sure to look behind the curtain. This place ain't Oz.

      Pros

      Some great people work for the company.

      Cons

      Sweatshop. Very poor employee morale. Most employees I know are very dissatisfied with their compensation, the poor raises (range = 0-3%, 5% is practically unheard of), high healthcare costs, and lack of career development opportunities (i.e. promotions are rare and there's no clear path to getting promoted ... most promotions require lots of political maneuvering). And the continuous change of focus, priorities and resources whenever the CEO comes up with a new idea (aka a "Jeff project" that will make your project no longer a priority) proves disheartening to everybody at some point in their Amazon career. This culture all comes directly from the CEO and nothing will change until he changes.

      Stimulating place to work -- helps to be thick-skinned

      Pros

      1) On-going flow of innovative ideas that provides a sense that you're working on the cutting edge. 2) Smart, capable and interesting colleagues.

      Cons

      Extremely high expectations. Brings about great effort but scant feelings of having done a job well.
