Pros

Amazon provides some of the best opportunity to work across the globe. I live in a smaller city, but am able to work virtually on projects bigger than I ever imagined. It truly is amazing and I'm lucky to have a great team of colleagues.

Cons

It is challenging for me to know that I am compensated significantly less than my colleagues because I live in a different area. I wish we offered internal promotions and external hires similar compensation packages.

Pros

- Working with some of the brightest people in the industry - Working on innovative projects that matter and that impact people's lives today - Flexibility to transfer to different roles and different countries - Flexibility to work from home or other arrangements - Have access to Beta testing new services/products that the company is developing - Great culture if you like to work hard and constantly challenge yourself - Company stock and competitive salaries

Cons

- Promotion processes are not transparent and can cause some level of anxiety among employees although there have been suggested improvements recently - Constantly being surrounded by bright people and challenging projects can be overwhelming at times - Work life balance is not great - you're in for the long hours, Friday nights and weekends if your role has direct impact on customers or you're working on big launches - Hierarchy - the higher your level in the org the quickest you'll manage to get things done and people to reply to you - Hiring decisions - Amazon chooses to hire from external companies rather than promote qualified Amazonians to fill certain positions which can generate frustrations internally
