Pros

Best company to work with. Very nice working culture. Best place to start your career.

More sales. Each month, millions of active customers visit Amazon looking to shop for products.

International Expansion. Since Amazon is one of the biggest and most trusted global selling and buying platforms, it's very easy to start selling in different markets.

Low marketing costs.

Cons

Drawback: The Environment Is Cutthroat

Working with highly competitive, world-class employees can have its disadvantages, especially when your co-workers might not have your best interests at heart. Amazon’s aggressive approach apparently isn’t limited to the market — it can be seen as part of the internal culture, too.

Advice to Management

Drawback: Workforce Skews Male and White

The tech giant details its global workforce demographics on its "diversity at Amazon" webpage. Though 40 percent of Amazon’s workforce is female, only 26 percent of managers are women. And, 63 percent of managers are white compared to 42 percent of overall workers.
