Business Outlook

Pros

- Incredibly interesting & fast paced - Innovation at it's best - Full ownership opportunities and autonomy - Great campus and lots of small, curated working spaces - Open dog enviornment - Casual dress and culture - Competitive pay & total compensation

Cons

- Fast pace means heavy workloads - Leveling and progressing is difficult once inside - Total compensation will consider stock your income, something to keep in mind - People who raise the bar means they also pride themselves on working too much. You've gotta go in knowing this and not succumb to it.

Pros

Amazon provides some of the best opportunity to work across the globe. I live in a smaller city, but am able to work virtually on projects bigger than I ever imagined. It truly is amazing and I'm lucky to have a great team of colleagues.

Cons

It is challenging for me to know that I am compensated significantly less than my colleagues because I live in a different area. I wish we offered internal promotions and external hires similar compensation packages.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Working with some of the brightest people in the industry - Working on innovative projects that matter and that impact people's lives today - Flexibility to transfer to different roles and different countries - Flexibility to work from home or other arrangements - Have access to Beta testing new services/products that the company is developing - Great culture if you like to work hard and constantly challenge yourself - Company stock and competitive salaries

Cons

- Promotion processes are not transparent and can cause some level of anxiety among employees although there have been suggested improvements recently - Constantly being surrounded by bright people and challenging projects can be overwhelming at times - Work life balance is not great - you're in for the long hours, Friday nights and weekends if your role has direct impact on customers or you're working on big launches - Hierarchy - the higher your level in the org the quickest you'll manage to get things done and people to reply to you - Hiring decisions - Amazon chooses to hire from external companies rather than promote qualified Amazonians to fill certain positions which can generate frustrations internally
