Pros

The company culture depends on your team and org (which is always true for big companies), but Amazon is exceptionally good at cultivating its leadership principles. You'll grow and learn a lot from people around you. Writing a lot improves the way you think and structure your thoughts.

Cons

Sometimes feels a bit "too" big. As a TPM, you rely on either internal or external tech resources to execute your projects and deliver results. In operations, TPM work as Technical Product Managers. Without support in an already very resource constrained team, it's very difficult to build exceptional things - resulting in months building a product/dashboard that in the end may be subpar and difficult to measure success. It's challenging to be ambitious, entrepreneurial, and deliver actual results without wearing too many hats at the same time.

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.
