Pros

cab pick and drop and the cafeteria ,wifi , no dress code.

Cons

I joined Amazon thinking this would be a great company to work for. Little did I know about the hidden agenda of MANDATORY OVERTIME and SIX day week work policy. This was never discusses during the offer letter discussion. In fact all of us were promised that it was a FIVE day week work place. They cover up this by telling you that you will get paid.. But at what cost? Health,sleep and eating pattern goes for a toss!!! We have a personal time break of twenty minutes on the system. Further investigation we were informed by our team lead that this was for the week. So what you get is 4 minutes a day to visit the toilet in a 9 or 11 hour shift . Failing to adhere you would have H.R take action. Guys of Amazon are you serious??? They show no human approach to anyone and simply take advantage of the fact that they can fire you at any moment! Work ethics and culture wise this company in Hyderabad is the pits!!! If you are thinking of joining I would advise any person to please continue studying. If you are desperate for money and willing to work like a dog then YES please join them!

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.
