Amazon

• Competitive offers (not the best, but still well above average)
• Many of the teams have a similar feel to a startup.
• It is in Seattle (I have mixed feelings about this).
• The people here are smart and motivated.
• Has a kind of "hands off" management style, at least where I work. The mentality is that as long as I get my work done appropriately, all is good.
• You can go from team to team, department to department, and continuously learn new things. You can jump from low-end server management to high-end app development, for example.
• The company is going places both from a financial sense (have you looked at their stock recently and its trend?) and a technology sense.
• The teams are generally kept small and, for my team at least, leads to better communication.

• With some teams, work-life balance is horrible. This is not true for all teams, however; mostly the ones that manage the website directly and are responsible for keeping various services up and running. I have seen it both ways.

• It is in Seattle (I have mixed feelings about this).

• It can be difficult at times to get recognized for your hard work, even if you go above and beyond the call of duty (please note: I have not personally experienced this. Rather, it is a conclusion I have reached based off of my interactions with others and what I have seen).

• Team culture and work-life balance vary from "I want to get out of here" to "I absolutely love it here and can't imagine myself anywhere else." I understand that this happens in many different companies, but I wish Amazon would work more to normalize this spectrum.

Make sure employees know that their work is appreciated.
