Pros

It's always day 1. There are so many moving parts, new launches, new products, new services and everyone is excited to be part of it.

Cons

Being based in Europe but part of a global team sometimes is a challenge because there are too many stakeholders who want to make decisions.

Pros

Amazon is the most innovative and fast paced company I have ever worked for. Amazon is changing the world and is continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Only the best are hired to work for Amazon, and the high caliber performance of colleagues is noticeable. Work Life balance is nothing like the horror stories of the NYT article, however it varies team to team. The South Lake Union campus is fantastic and makes for a great place to work. Dog friendly buildings and co-workers is a great stress reliever.

Cons

Amazon's culture and high expectations are not for everyone. Don't expect you hand to be held or shown what to do. Health and retirement benefits are good, but not exceptional. Much of this is compensated through signing bonuses and restricted stock units.

Pros

- Rapid Growth - Innovative and Exciting Projects - Opportunities for Development - Pretty good pay Generally I cannot fault much about my career path, having experienced quite rapid development. My advice to anyone joining is to make sure that you are well positioned for the great projects coming along - even if your team is not doing much exciting right now, something will happen in the next few weeks or months, and you want to be the person that management thinks about when that project needs to be implemented.

Cons

- Sometimes lacks structure (choice by the business) - Very direct culture (no cursing or harsh language, but people will tell you if they had expected more) - Very US focused All of the above are really reflections of the choices Amazon makes - if you want something different, this may not be the place for you. Additionally if you are not Seattle based, you will be mostly focused on execution, rather than building truly new products
