Pros

Good pay, Good benefits Use to be really really awesome during the COVID years. Lots of growth, innovation and praised for hard work

Cons

Toxic work culture Poor work life balance Now, high favoritism, hyper focus on cost cutting and endless rows of bureaucracy. Amazon in 2025 is a ship without a leader. Amazon has never been behind, but now that it is, no one knows what to do. All senior management says to everyone is put your head down and work harder, stifling innovation.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
