Pros

-Very smart managers -Always pushing the envelope

Cons

-To meet expectations, it's difficult to have a work/life balance -Senior leadership tends to manage with fear -Highly competitive environment can devolve into finger pointing if leadership doesn't keep people focused on improving the process. -The leader development process is horrible...Amazon operates on an OJT model where you have to develop any lacking skills yourself, or you will weeded out.

Pros

Mostly strong peer group dedicated to doing whatever it takes to get the job done. Good ability to impact business and make change. Usually little in the way of progress. The agenda is full and exciting.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent. Try to have some and you will be off track. Much depends on your location and manager, but for the most part treatment of employees is pretty harsh from the floor up into the first few layers of management.

Pros

Good pay, bonus and stock options. Co is standard work focus and has great leadership principles. I believe in the company's future and innovation to change and become better and better.

Cons

Hires too many data smart folks and the job entails managing numbers on computer. 500+ emails a day - ridiculous; communication from Sr Managers is all via e-mail. Face to face is rare. Can't build trust and know your leaders via LED screens. Amazon lacks true leaders that motivate and drive performance. Little time to do what I know is right and engage associates - this is pushing me away from the company, but I believe in it, so I am personally struggling whether I will stay or not.
