Pros

working with wickedly smart people. Learning everyday and pushing the boundaries. There is definitely more work than what you one can do. It is boht a challenge and opporunity.

Cons

Speed is preferred over efficiency. At times the overhead of many randomization can easily burn people out.

Pros

You will learn and grow at twice the pace compare to other companies. Plenty of training opportunities. Best engineers in the world. Very engaged and hard-working workforce. Amazon's 'Leadership Principles' make sense, are used every day, and are what makes the company tick.

Cons

Hard to achieve work-life balance. Not recommended if change of direction makes you dizzy. Getting promoted is harder than in other places. If a manager / executive - expect bigger responsibilities but smaller title compare to other companies.
