      Nice place to work for a geek

      Pros

      1. Some of the best minds in the world work with you. 2. You're given to work on cutting edge technology 3. Amazon.com has a huge internal software base, and many in-house frameworks are developed.

      Cons

      1. You have to support what you deliver, this includes a lot of operational tasks, which is a pain for SDE. 2. As you work on most of the in-house frameworks you dont generally get to use the industry standard frameworks. 3. Employees are just working machine for them, frugality is the main principle and that reflects in every coffee machine in amazon, leave alone goodies or office parties.

      Needs less ex-military and more business professionals

      Pros

      If you work hard they will reward you, the pay is very good for warehouse work and promotions are there if you work hard and play the politics right.

      Cons

      They tend to hire under-qualified ex military personnel into management. They also required a BA/BS degree but do not care what it is in. So you end up with people who went to college for physical fitness in a management position they should never of been allowed into.

      Single, looking for soul-mate (Corporate)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with smart, driven people, get paid extremely well, and for company growing at an amazing rate.

      Cons

      Cash-bonus (at hire) and stock grants all are structured to keep you here through thick and thin. Take risks/chances on stretch-assignments at your own risk -- your manager will not be there to support you when you come up short, even if he/she has bought into all your progress steps. All part of the shoot-the-messenger culture. HR is without a spinal, echoing whatever ego-driven conclusions your management group has.
