Pros

Added benefits are nice for morale (catered lunch daily, weekly onsite Happy Hour, audible membership) Staff Diversity Great product Some departments seem to really enjoy their work (not HR or Finance) Stellar Internship programs for students! Community involvement is great

Cons

Leadership doesn't develop talent Managment candidates are primarily outside hires No Work life balance among management and executives (always working even on PTO) Understaffed in many areas (time off means OT when you return) Top heavy and Management and executive levels could be diversified Corporate politics Finance dealings are very cumbersome Open call-center style seating arrangements Health insurance could be better Since lunch is provided, working through lunch becomes an unfair expectation.

Pros

Complimentary audiobook account, stocks, nice customers, room for advancement for those that work hard and even easier for those that are favorites or use other "methods" to climb the ladder.

Cons

A lot of favoritism, parking, the outsourcing (bad idea), the shift bid method is ridiculous (again there is some favoritism). Most of the people are great, but there are a couple that will destroy your soul, so be very careful.

Pros

Great vision. Feels good to be part of something meaningful, not an everyday 'x meets y' startup or a legacy company trying to appear innovative. With the Amazon stack, great people and a growing business, you'll have a difficult time finding a bigger challenge.

Cons

The lack of a presence/office in NYC is straining the recruiting effort in various teams. It's difficult to get great ideas to the customer.
