Though the people and benefits at Amazon are great, it is not a positive work environment. - Quality Assurance Amazon Employee Review

Pros

The thing I liked most was the people I worked with. You can meet a lot if cool people there. Though you don't have a lot of time to actually interact with them except for breaks. The pay and benefits are good as well.

Cons

Despite their insistence that they care about their associates, I find the overall structure of Amazon to be geared towards the opposite. The pay and benefits are good enough that Amazon knows that either: you won't leave, even if they treat you poorly, or will leave, and they can very easily find a replacement. They (high level management) do and say what they must to make their shareholders happy. In short, they wish we were robots, so standards are set at a corporate level so that they can treat us like one.

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.
