Business Outlook
Pros
Working at Amazon was a fantastic opportunity to learn from some of the best software engineers in the world. The breadth of problems tackled at Amazon is staggering, and I felt that the work I was doing really mattered. Management was fair and reasonable and the overall culture was friendly, if competitive.
Cons
It is very hard to maintain a good work-life balance. There is very little opportunity for flexible employment, and the nature of the business often requires working at abnormal hours.
