Great Culture and People

Pros

Culture and people are great. Performance driven culture and high performing individuals ensure you are performing your best as well.

Cons

Sometimes the expectations to take on more responsibilities to drive initiatives beyond the neverending delivery can be challenging.

Pros

A lot of autonomy to coordinate your schedule and what projects you are aligned to. Lack of mgmt oversight and you are trusted to get the job done. Good pay and work life balance.

Cons

Very political and extremely hard to get promoted. Amazonians internally use the saying "you dont get promoted for doing a good job, you get promoted for doing things outside of your role". Amazon is also extremely competitive, with a formal system to manage out poor performers. Every year you receive a rating "very effective, effective or least effective" and if youre in least effective rating, you will be put on a performance plan. Performance is subjective though, and relies alot on your ability to manage up well. Getting promoted for more $ and shares
