Pros

Colleague friendships Busy Environment Dynamic Recognised Brand Always something new happening Shares which makes comp good

Cons

Very oppressive work environment not only due to the volume of work but the continuous aggressive performance bar You will never be promoted in Amazon but you will be expected to take on more and deliver more, do a larger job of increased responsibility and scope but not get compensated , recognised or promoted Very Senior leaders who are supposed to be role models speak atrociously to more junior members of staff on open forums like conference calls to the point people are afraid to speak up or ever voice an opinion or objection Very poor benefits overall

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.
