Vantaggi
The money. They pay you a lot to work a hell of a lot. No work / life balance so kiss that goodbye. The benefits are okay, but honestly, this is probably something you won't even have time to enjoy depending on which department you work for. If you are an IT professional, run don't walk away from this company. They work their IT employees extra hard and not much appreciation is awarded. Other than that, there are SMALL perks by working for Amazon. Visiting book authors will stop by and employees get a chance to meet them and hear them talk in a conference room. That's about it!
Svantaggi
The management. Ever been yelled at by Jeff Bezos in a meeting? Then you haven't really experienced Amazon. :) I would always hear rumors about the executives coming back from meetings either with their tails between their legs, or just coming back red in the face having just been screamed at by Mr. Bezos. I think the day this man decides to stop micromanaging the management and let them take the reins and do their jobs will be a much happier time for Amazon employees as a whole. It all comes straight from the top and trickles down to the employees.
