Pros

- Good work culture - Amazing onboarding plans for New Hires - Employee Obsessed and always trying to make new hires comfortable and be supportive - Lot of opportunities to learn everyday and be innovative I have been with Amazon for approx. 3 months now and I really feel comfortable and included and part of the team I am in. The team and management is very supportive and doesn't make me feel like a new hire.

Cons

Nothing that I have encountered as of now (in my 1st 2 months at Amazon)

Pros

Amazon provides new hires (external or internal promotions) with an opportunity to complete a comprehensive on-boarding plan called Embark. This 3-month program is designed to quickly, but effectively demonstrate Amazon's peculiar culture, Leadership Principles and unique communication strategy. It is a mix of VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training), eLearnings, 1:1s, readings, and workshops. In my professional experience, this has been the best and most effective way to quickly assimilate into a new role, new company and new industry. In addition, I was consistently encouraged to complete my trainings prior to deep-diving into my new role. The support from Sr. Leaders to focus on on-boarding before "starting" a new role was quite amazing. I really felt supported, well prepared and confident to start my new job after completing my Embark plan - which is also unique to every new hire and designed by their Manager.

Cons

The Embark plan can be overwhelming, intense and intimidating. It is a lot of work with tight deadlines and is mostly self-driven. If you are not motivated and a self-starter, this might be a barrier to passing your 3-month probation.
