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.

Pros

Dynamic and fast paced environment. Great Associates. Awesome customer focus and extensive automated tools to aid individual and group tasks. World class facilities.

Cons

Rapid growth means rapid promotion of data driven managers in the Fulfillment Centers. Data driven Managers do not have the leadership and soft skills to develop and lead hundreds of associates and subordinate leaders. Vast gap in senior leadership which reflects in rapid turnover in the Area and Operations Managers. Those who can seek position out of the DCs while those who are frustrated leave the company in droves. I caution prior Military to think long and hard about joining the Amazon Distribution Center operations. Life work balance and your frustration at the lack of Sr. Leadership will quickly dissolution you.
