Great place to learn - horrible place to build a career

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of innovation and smart people. Great place to learn about many aspects of the business.

Cons

Preference is to hire managers externally vs. promoting from within. The incredibly difficult work-life balance takes high performing employees and burns them out until they have nothing left to give with little to no recognition or compensation. Promotions take a really long time and when transferring within teams there is very little chance to be promoted and starting all over again with a new manager within a lateral move, on a new team can take 1-2 years for promotion. Therefore, don't come to Amazon to build your career unless you're willing to put in a minimum of 3 years before being recognized.

Pros

Great pay (base + bonus + equity) Ownership Some autonomy

Cons

Benefits - what benefits?, Managers who have been in the same group for too long, Home grown systems that aren't scalable or sustainable, HORRIBLE Data management system, Frugality as a principle and excuse = frupidity, no career growth, you have to transfer to a new role at your same level and can only be promoted in your existing role, non-documenting culture, attrition is high (avg tenure is less than 2 years excluding growth)
