      Pros

      Good money for short time employment

      Cons

      Amazon has a quota of 5% that need to be let go for every manager. If you are new, chances are high that you will be selected to be put on a performance plan then let go. PIP is designed in a way for you to fail, you can try to pass like many people have but failure rate is over 90%.

      A good place to launch your career but not to stay in it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good pay - working on impactful projects - Collaboration with talented engineers - Learning how to run projects and teams the Amazon way

      Cons

      - Worst management ever in my 17 years career, not empathetic and not at all striving to be best world's employer ( one of the last LPs) if not trying to be the worst. - Over applying the processes and LPs in a dumb manner sometimes, no adaptability no creativity - Your previous experience is completely ignored, you hear a lot you need to learn the amazon way. - A lot of politics, if you know the system you can twick it for your favour. - Not as inclusive as Amazon states, regular late meetings with US leadership ignoring the time difference. - Stressful environment on which only delivering results counts not the people at all - Treated as kids with the RTO communication
