Pros

The company leer you by offering above average pay for management level. Base pay is not above average but they do offer higher than normal signing bonus meant to keep you engaged for two years.

Cons

Overall, the worst place I have worked. They have a lot of good things on paper but the company does not care about it employees. Managers are not allowed vacation between October 01 and December 31. Because you cannot take vacation you accumulate many vacation days and if you try and take them you a made to feel like you are not a good employee. You literally are demoralized for using a vacation day. I am white male. The company will hire minorities but treat them as a slave labor force, including the managers. Minorities on all levels are treated poorly. In less than one year I have seen 11 managers get fired and 7 resign. Managers come and go. Do not leave your job for Amazon and do not be fooled buy the huge signing bonus and offer of RSU. You will regret taking the bonus because when you are either fired or resign you will be made to repay. Worst place to work. As soon as I complete my two years here as Operations Manager I am resigning.

Pros

I met and worked with some really good leaders in this company. Overall compensation is very competitive. Promotions can come quickly if you are willing to work hard and if you are good at what you do.

Cons

Fulfillment is often shift work for a lot of managers. If you are not good with "change", Amazon is not the place for you. Leadership development is very much on the individual, it will not be handed to you.

Pros

Gives good exposure to large scale business and operations. decent pay.

Cons

no work life balance. Working from India, one is treated like cheap labor. the quality of work and life is significantly different in Seattle and India. people expect you to work and deliver result, but nobody will talk about employee welfare or improving services and facilities. spending money on employee is against the principle of frugality, the company follows. Interacting with personnel department (for allowances, claims) is a pain. Response is very poor. thing get worse after u quit. luckily for me, i had few good friends on my team, who helped me with the stuff after i quit.
