Pros

Amazon does an excellent job at hiring talent out of college and the onboarding process makes you feel like a part of the company and a bigger team.

Cons

The management structure is broken. Amazon doesn't know what kind of company it really wants to be and there is not enough structure or attention paid to development unless you are one of the "Pathways" MBA hires. They have created a culture of "Have" and "Have Not" among their management teams.

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.
