Pros

Some very smart people work here. It is not hard to find challenging and interesting tasks. Great place to learn. If you work hard, smart, and long, you can really get ahead

Cons

Stack ranking makes for somewhat strained relationship between co-workers. very poor work life balance if you want to get promoted. Amazon values builders -- which means that sstems engineers are a second class citizen. Turnover for Systems engineers is really high in retail.
