Pros

The customer truly is #1--as a CSA, I have the authority to do just about whatever I think is right to make our customers happy (which makes ME happy). The dress code is uber casual (yup, you can wear your PJs to work), it's not a homogeneous group of employees, schedule changes are relatively easy, the environment is fun, and everyone is expected to have a sense of ownership in the company. Most employees are friendly and more than happy to help one another out with job performance issues and even a ride to work.

Cons

They are incredibly strict about attendance...they've got you timed down to seconds, and it's not flexible. DO NOT run out of unpaid time off (which is slim to begin with). Amazon is also super cheap (or, eh-hem, "frugal"). Better pay, benefits, and perks would be great. Employees get a 10% discount...up to $100 per year (excluding Prime memberships--which are totally full price).

Pros

friendly people, fun place to work.

Cons

Has been invaded by Indian Institute of Management (mafias, lol ) and now everyone is forced to work on projects or initiatives to even survive. No room for feedback, (even if you are asked, it's not heared or they just brush it aside) just do your thing( what is said) and go home - you have to be a superman to even keep up, People hired from IIM drones have hijacked the place and the HR team is in cahoots with them. Your NRR metric is an all time flop! Trust me this has left many people in Amazon to think serious about the management( Thank god!, I left the job) Policies are interpreted favorably towards management (sorry,'leadership') teams only, and the associates and leads are left holding the bag. the IIM mafias have a serious disconnect with the reality of their job -Senior managers management and are happy in their world of projects, numbers, spreadsheets and colourful graphs. It is now a race to show the world what you're up to without having to bother about results - just make sure your boss likes you and they'll balance the 'leadership principles' and tenets to cook stuff to make you look good. Expecting fairness in your review is a joke!
