Business Outlook
Pros
Amazon is a fast paced company where you get the opportunity to work on just about every aspect of a problem to get it done. If you have the right type of personality (I do) then this is a great chance to try out allot of different job roles without switching companies or positions.
Cons
Due to lack of inter-team coordination developers are often required to take on job roles that they might not be interested in or suited for. It's not uncommon to see your manager acting as a technical lead, developer, manager, project manager and marketing person all at once. Also, Amazon lacks any sort of training programs for it's staff. You won't find any sort of training programs at the company..
