Pros

A forge for your professional skills. Exceptional people.

Cons

By arbitrarily forcing return-to-office without providing data to support it and despite clear evidence that it is the wrong decision for our employees, Amazon has failed its role as earth’s best employer. I believe this decision will be detrimental to our business and is antithetical to how we make decisions at Amazon.

Pros

The bar is high so expect to feel overwhelmed at times. Amazing colleagues who value honesty and hard work. You can really make a difference if you put the effort and research in.

Cons

There is some organisational bloat and a little too much back slapping at times. Frugality isn't the leadership principle that gets most of the spotlight. Insist on the highest standards is way ahead.

Pros

I joined Amazon AWS 3 months ago. So far, it has been n excellent experience. I am managing a team of great engineers who are well-trained, talented, and dedicated to doing the right thing the right way. Coming from a company that was very top-down, I am really enjoying the bottoms-up planning process. I feel much more ownership over the team's strategy, and it takes very little effort to get the team to buy into challenging & valuable tasks. Everyone takes work-life balance seriously, and we have freedom to enjoy our lives.

Cons

Some big company clunkiness. With the bad economy, there are now travel & hiring restrictions, but that is understandable. Benefits are slightly above average for the industry.
