Amazon Program Manager reviews

There are very few perks (just three, actually: 1) dog-friendly, 2) casual dress, and 3) free tampons) and the total benefit package is lackluster. Most work spaces are "high density", which means an open area crammed full of desks, such that it's too loud to even have work-related phone calls from your desk. Your compensation package will be stock-rich and base poor. Do not expect annual base increases to even match typical cost of living increases. A 2.5% increase is rare. Instead, you might get stock grants for two years in the future (but will you be able to stay long enough for vesting?). Amazon does not believe in motivating behaviors through any sort of positive reinforcement.

All the cons of a large company continuing to grow quickly - bureaucracy, inefficient use of time/money, churn due to constant restructuring and short turnover, too few employees for the amount of work being requested. Basically, becoming more similar to Microsoft in all the bad ways.
