Pros

-Good pay -Smart people to work with

Cons

-Bad management with too many politics -highly difficult to move up the ladder in India unless you are able to lick your bosses ass, -Hopeless HR. HR and the manager together prevent people from switching teams( though the Amazon culture encourages one to gain diversified experience) -cheap behavior towards females by some in the senior management level

Pros

Lot to learn. Great culture and startup like work environment along with benefits of a big company.

Cons

Too hectic and unrealistic expectations. Life will be stressful at times. In fact, I started gaining weight and losing hair after joining Amazon! Initiatives are mostly driven by business needs. Compromises are made at technical values to cater business needs. Work Hard, Harder and probably make history if you are lucky. No fun!
