      Worst company Ever - workaholics

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Salary, all expenses paid, lots of interesting work, signing on bonus and invested stocks after 1 year

      Cons

      This list at no end, it’s the worst Company I have ever worked in. No work life balance, long days, lots of traveling. Every one has about the work load of about 5 people. The business has no structure, procedure or processes , like most conventional companies. So everyone has to be able to work in chaos. I have found management to be raciest (in the UK). This is a company that simply do not care about people, only profits.

      AWS - Hard work, freedom to shine

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Risk taking and new ideas are strongly encouraged. 2) Treated like an adult, freedom to do you job as you know how, not micro-managed. You are given reins to excel. 3) Stock incentives and sign-on bonuses fantastic (but salary only so-so) 4) Everyone here is outstanding -- helpful, engaged, whip smart. You will think to yourself "How did they let me in here?" 5) Very strong focus on customers and making their businesses better. It is a winning formula, as evidenced by tremendous growth of AWS. 6) Strong culture of the Leadership Principles (Google it). They are lived every day. If you want to win a debate/discussion with other employees, remind them how their position is not in keeping with a specific LP. Works almost every time. 7) Huge career opportunities. AWS is growing so fast, we have hundreds of openings. Moving around is supported.

      Cons

      1) Salary is so-so. At some point you will max out (but at least for me, the stock incentives and sign-on bonuses -- think multiples of a year's salary -- more than make up for not getting an extra 5-10% in the paycheck). 2) You will work hard, very hard. You can take PTO and vacations, but you have to protect them and not get caught in a trap of 24x7. If you remind them you need a break, managers will support you being away. 3) All your friends will ask you for discounts on Amazon goods. Little do they know employees barely get any.

      No chances

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You are in control of your growth. There is a supportive managment team.

      Cons

      Watch what you inquire about and be careful about your topics of discussion. Human Resources is not on the side of the team member. It protects the company first. Don’t expect them to choose sides because the team member will always loose.
