Pros: My team and adjacent coworkers are friendly and welcoming. We don't skimp out on team events or meals to make sure our morale is high. Career growth is fantastic; the track to promotion is clear, and internal transfers are easily within reach when desired. Compensation is high; other companies couldn't even come close. Job stability is a must, especially in this economic climate. I have faith in Amazon as a company, and being a part of the company has reinforced that faith. The number of teams means the opportunity to grow into management is more accessible because of the number of managers required.

Cons: The Amazon Student Program, through which I was hired, is poorly organized and confusing to work with. The organizational structure of Amazon is confusing; it took me a while to figure out where my team sits. Change is fast at a per-team level, but wider change is very difficult with Amazon's many-team structure. Handing down decisions is hard when there are so many teams. Super-fast pace and a ton of internal tools make for a very steep learning curve.

Pros: Good compensation, good teams, good technologies.

Cons: Bad work-life balance. Life depends on the manager.

Pros: Good salary, work, work, and work. Bad environment.

Cons: No work-life balance, 24/7 work, no leave, no security.
