Pros

Amazon hiring process ensures that only really smart people get through. This leads to superb talent in the team - even though hiring takes a long time. Plus, the intense focus on data driven decision making makes it a very flat playground

Pros

+ It's a nice place to work in most aspects. + You get a lot of exposure to business. + Depending on your team, you could get to do some good work. + It's a big tech company. You get exposure to a lot of hot technologies and very smart people. + Ample scope to grow professionally.

Cons

- The work atmosphere is pretty intensive, compared to most similar companies. - Work-life-balance needs to improve. - The salary(and hikes) tend to tank after joining initially on a good package. - There is no variable pay or annual/performance-based bonus. - The employee benefits programme needs to be reworked. one of the company mottos is "Frugality". Extreme cases of that can't go down well with the employees.
