I have been working at Amazon full-time for less than a year
Pros
- You can learn a lot very quickly in a very short time - Surrounded with nothing but incredibly smart and driven individuals. - Compensation is well beyond my expectations, and more than suitable.... - Exciting projects all across the company that keep you interested and focused. - Amazon is changing the world
Cons
- Can be overwhelming, very steep learning curve - Can be difficult to keep up if you are not self motivated
