Pros

sign on bonus and stock is crazy $$, benefits great but no point if you aren’t there long.

Cons

Too many to list-I worked here for over 3 years, folks don’t stick around long enough to- only stay until the sign on bonus ends and they are gone. They don’t care about your family. Zero work life balance, they don’t allow work from home and if you do ever get it approved by disability they will find something to fire you and you don’t get any promotions or raises. It’s a large company but some groups it runs like a small company- leadership refuses to change and very unprofessional. To much favoritism and I won’t go back here. I have seen so many layoffs after just creating a team - so it might say Amazon but you don’t mean anything to them. I have seen leaders talk about numbers as they aren’t people easy to say lay them off without verifying the data. I will never return -their performance based system doesn’t exist you get written up once and you are given a package - if you don’t take it and decide to stay on you only have a certain time to fix it after that if you are let go your package does down by like 70%. No second changes you must excel and work over 60+ hours per week as a salary employee

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.
