Business outlook
Pros
Amazon is faced paced. You are working with some amazing customers doing amazing things with technology and you are in the thick of it every day
Cons
Internal systems are a joke, work life balance is largely non-existent, the pace is unrelenting and above all it's un-rewarding. Employees are disposable assets (there's a reason for the very high turnover - which leads to lack of continuity), perks are non-existent and "bonuses" are in the form of RSUs that don't vest for 2 years (and forget about pay rises)
