Business outlook
Pros
Pay can increase fairly quickly for top candidates with strong education and experience.Health insurance, retirement and vacation, are extremely competitive with, if not superior to, other sectors.Ownership - Amazon treats you like an owner - a grown up. You have a job to do and you are empowered to do it.
Cons
Everybody at Amazon is juggling so much and constantly writing high quality documents can get exhausting. The secret here, as in any job, is to balance the strategic against the operational and prioritize ruthlessly. I cannot say I was always effective at it - but I tried till my last day and now have the benefit of hind sight as well :-)
