Pros
Amazon is a huge tech company that is revolutionizing different businesses and pretty much redefining those. E.g. shopping (Amazon Go), delivery (Amazon Flex), Cloud Computing (AWS) etc.
Cons
This is only based on experience in SCOT (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies) organization. -> Extremely hierarchical organization with too many reporting layers. -> Managers are almost untouchable and your personal development and career is extremely limited (if not screwed up) when having a bad or inexperienced manager. Only option is trying to change org or leave Amazon entirely. -> Unclear performance review and evaluation. -> Too many uncompleted (not fully automated) projects resulting in lots of maintenance work and frustration.
