Pros
I joined Amazon in 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed my time since then. What strikes me most about Amazon is how meritocratic it is, everyone is judged based on their quality of work and intellectual capability, not their ability to hold audiences and speak eloquently. After coming from a consulting world, that was a refreshing change. I was lucky to have all of managers as people who I truly admired and wanted to emulate in their excellence at coaching.
Cons
Having worked in Amazon operations, the pace of things can be challenging. For a company growing as fast as Amazon, it can be quite unsettling for those who need stability, constant direction etc.
