Pros

I've never worked for a company that allows you to explore and develop any and all of the ideas that you want. People skills are hard to develop within operations so they lean on HR a lot for those skills which means that you get the freedom to develop your own ideas and implement new ways to approach situations.

Cons

Working HR at Amazon can be incredibly stressful and downright dangerous at times. They cut staffing and yet your operational leaders make more and more demands of you every day when they aren't even held accountable to their own metrics.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
