Looks good on your resume, the RSU's are nice if they vest in time (and Amazon's stock is high)--before you go mad from the insane hours you work (while being on salary), and that's about it.

Cons

1) No work/life balance 2) No respect 3) No advancement 4) No guidance 5) No real leadership from management 6) No fun 7) No employee retention 8) No rewards for hard work
