Pros

Great culture and a fun place to work. Everyone is intelligent and drives each other to be better. Be prepared to work hard and be pushed to do well. Although they pay very well and, as a result, expect you to perform. Firings will happen, but they are often expected and never unwarranted. Also, the concept of moving groups or leaving for new opportunities is accepted here and never feels awkward. Many people even end up coming back after they leave.

Cons

Can be stressful at times, not terribly bad though. Occasionally, Amazon shows its frugality in ways that are annoying to employees.
