      Fast paced, but good experience

      Pros

      Lots of flexibility (work from home), preapproved holidays as long as you plan a bit ahead. I feel like i’ve grown a lot since i’m there. Your manager is there to „push you out of your comfort zone“ - but by doing this long term growth is ensured. A lot of the long term Amazonians move internally - there are a lot of areas to explore and it will never get boring!

      Cons

      Im under a german work contract - probation time can be very challenging and hard to see if your are the right „fit“. Our team has been understaffed since I joined (1 y) so the pressure was at times very high.

      Good place for some, but mostly pretty bad

      Pros

      Amazon gives leaders a great deal of ownership. You get a lot of flexibility to define the direction of your team as you see fit. Also, the company is huge with many opportunities, so you can switch between roles and areas quite easily.

      Cons

      The culture of Amazon is, well, pathetic. The company uses "leadership principles" to justify everything; and the principles are anything but objective so they can be bent at will to make a case for hiring or firing someone at any time. The company has gotten incredibly fat and these days I spend 80% of my time playing politics rather than doing anything that adds value to end customers. Also, much of the mid-level leadership at Amazon is incredibly poor. It's amazing to see grown adults behaving like children with temper tantrums; this is compounded by the fact that most leaders are lacking in technical depth so can only talk about abstract concepts rather than have a real tech discussion.

      Pros

      Good working environment overall, competitive employee benefits and the possibility to grow fast within the company

      Cons

      It depends on the area of work, concerning mine, I have nothing negative to say
