Pros

It is a big start up company. Original ideas are respected and you see the sprite and growth of a start up company. Unlike many high tech companies that I have worked - I like the frugal ways of Amazon. It is more long lasting that way and enhances the share holder value in the long run and as an employee you do hold a large amount of company stock. There are lot of new initiatives which keeps the innovation level very high. At the same time mere visionaries and arm chair thinkers have no chance of surviving in the company. Innovation is only respected if you can execute.

Cons

The operational aspects get to you sometimes.

Pros

Its growth will bring a lot of opportunities for future career advancement. Fast pace and dynamic work environment.

Cons

I dont know which group I am going to work with until a few weeks before starting my job. Some groups sucks and I cannot do anything with that except waiting until it is time to move out to other groups.
