      You learn a lot but not a place you want to stick around more than 2 years if you want a life! - Anonymous employee Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      Learn a lot about the mindset needed to run a business effectively - more than you can learn at most other companies

      Cons

      Bad work-life balance, too much politics, lack of recognition - especially if you come in with lot of experience. At Amazon people who "grow" at Amazon coming in as fresh college grads tend to do well- because local Amazon business skills matter more than your technical capabilties. You have to unlearn lot of stuff to be effective at Amazon.

      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.
