      Positive growth in a target-rich environment.

      Pros

      There are many things to work on in Amazon - there are few problems that are well solved and do not require further innovation. This can be a huge benefit when you come in to Amazon, there will definitely be something to which you can apply yourself.

      Cons

      A negative is that often you are dealing with all of the daily work and don't have the chance to make framework improvements or large-scale changes to the software you are working on. Too often stuck with finer details and management may not make time for the larger changes.

      Pros

      This is the best place in the industry if you want to learn new things and want to explore various areas. 1. Technical learning. 2. Co-workers and interaction with them is just awesome. 3. Pace of change is good enough to force you learn new things with the same pace. 4. Compensation is cool. 5. No politics like many other big companies.

      Cons

      1. Work life balance gets disturbed sometimes for some people, but that too is not as much as it is hyped on Glassdoor. Just join and see. 2. On-call: Each employee gets a turn, as per which he has to respond to any critical issue within a specific time interval. Indirectly, you have to be conscious 24X7 during this time. But its not same for all the teams and teams having very critical operations get help from their US counterpart (so you need to handle it during day only).

      Pros

      Challenging, very intelligent people, great product, new innovations, plenty of opportunity to move around the company and find a match for your skills & interests.

      Cons

      It's never enough... Never enough time to do the work Never enough work done to satisfy management. Ultimately, frustrating for people who are high-achieving (which is everyone here at Amazon).
