Pros

You get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry. The environment is very competitive; you would stand out as a sore thumb if you are not performing as well as the others.

The work is quite interesting depending on what aspect of Amazon you are working on. You get to work with the latest technologies in the field. You are expected to be a self-starter and have the ability to learn on the job and adapt to rapidly changing work priorities.

You should be flexible with your work hours, as you might be working weekends when the work is really crazy.

Cons

Work longer hours. Not much growth opportunity in a QA role. Bonuses not as good as offered by competition.

Advice to Management

None
