Pros

Lots of innovation and smart people. Great place to learn about many aspects of the business.

Kontras

Preference is to hire managers externally vs. promoting from within. The incredibly difficult work-life balance takes high performing employees and burns them out until they have nothing left to give with little to no recognition or compensation. Promotions take a really long time and when transferring within teams there is very little chance to be promoted and starting all over again with a new manager within a lateral move, on a new team can take 1-2 years for promotion. Therefore, don't come to Amazon to build your career unless you're willing to put in a minimum of 3 years before being recognized.

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.

Kontras

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.
