Pros

-TDP program is great for straight out of college hires -Use modern tech stack with modern processes -Generally pretty nice people and environment in the office but this can vary based on where you end up, some teams and leaders are toxic or just plain bad at leadership

Cons

-Culture has shifted to start imitating Amazon more and more in all the bad way, less benefits, less money spent on employees, tighter deadlines, regular layoff cycles -If you aren't a manager or a recent grad, avoid this place. TDPs get preferential treatment and will likely get paid more than you even if you are a more senior position. -Started as remote optional, than 50% of the days in office, now 3 days in the office minimum, wouldn't be surprised if it becomes 5 days mandatory soon. - If you are not self motivated, this environment is not for you. They don't hold your hand at all, and this will prevent you from promotions. - Promotions are rare even for good performers

Pros

Met some great people! The CODA and TDP program provide a lot of resources for junior associates. Good spot to learn and get your feet under you post-college. Some of the projects are quite interesting! I love the way my team works with the product team. There's a lot of opportunity for internal mobility so you can try something new and switch things up. It's a big company but it's surprising how often you end up working with the same people across different teams.

Cons

Get ready for stack ranking and quiet layoffs. If you get hired remotely, you will likely lose the remote exception if you switch teams. The company loves to mimic Amazon including in culture. A lot of people get stressed by how intense the performance reviews are which then bleeds into the atmosphere and culture. I've also seen a lot of people get quite sad and feel stagnated intellectually and professionally. The culture seems to have gotten a lot more aggressive and stressful since I first joined. If you apply to a different role internally, your manager is notified.
