Amazon

The great things about Amazon are definitely the salary that the company pays its employees and the fact that the company is still young and has lots of market it can still capture. Another huge bonus is that they have a downtown office that's right off the I-90 corridor (but that's going to change soon).

I think that Amazon.com hires many amateurs, so it's tough to find experts/mentors, unless you're in one of a few technically innovative groups. These isolated areas tend to also be the only areas of true technical innovation. The company also has a preference for hiring talent instead of developing internal talent.

Focus more on quality rather than quantity of features.
