Business outlook
Pros
Opportunity to work on many different projects, smart people in general. Genuinely oriented towards customers.
Cons
Constant, time-wasting micro-management. Absurd attention to tiny details by the most senior managers and VPs, and certainly by Bezos himself. Often a sense of wasted effort when some VP's whim changes. A very decentralized organization, which can make things very political--often the loudest jerk wins the argument.
