Pros
Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.
Cons
You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
Advice to Management
More on-boarding training before new employees are thrown in the fire. The first couple of weeks can be very confusing on where to find the information you need that pertains to your job.

Pros
Very collaborative work environment in which there is the best sense of belonging to a team. Challenging work with a supportive infrastructure to excel and grow within the company. Managers have your back as well as colleagues. A satisfying, fulfilling role in assisting third party sellers grow their business.
Cons
Vacation accrues with hours worked, no automatic vacation days granted on the first day.
Advice to Management
Establishing more work from home or four day work weeks would be favorable to most employees, as well as implementing unlimited vacation time will attract more of the best and brightest candidates to Amazon.
