If you value your life, don't work at Amazon as an engineer

Pros

Lots of very smart people, stock's high. As a new grad, you will learn a lot of things very quickly.

Cons

As an engineer, you will work long hours and will likely to be oncall. It becomes impossible if you want to have a family life and advance in career at Amazon.

Pros

The scale of the problems Amazon needs to solve are often unique. If you like large scale distributed systems you'll love working at Amazon. There's really very other places where you'll be able to have as much fun. Hours can sometimes be long, but well worth it.

Cons

Advancement is quick for the first couple of levels, but you can hit a proverbial wall once you get a more senior position.

Business Outlook

Pros

Real corporate culture -- it comes from the top, it is consistent, it is communicated, it makes sense, it makes customers happy. People really refer back to it when making decisions. Kind of tough on the employees but you can't have everything. If you perform, stock options are excellent. If you want to be a leader and you can do it, you can get extremely educational access to incredible top people.

Cons

Stressful. Work-life balance is poor in many groups. High operational burden in many groups. Benefits are bare minimum -- their philosophy is they would rather give more grants to reward the productive, then to have benefits that go to all employees.
