      Great pay, okay culture, mediocre values

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are good and fair. They give decent bonuses too. There's decent job security due to the companies rapid growth and a wide variety of jobs to choose from. Office culture is laid-back and fairly relaxed for an office work environment.

      Cons

      Huge disconnect between leadership and people on the ground. Tons of disorganization, last minute changes, and generally a lot of poorly thought out policies put into place hastily as band-aid solutions. Often time the lower employees on the hierarchy have to pay for the mistakes and odd policies of management in additional time spent at work and added obstacles to daily tasks. It's a bit gotten worse every year I've been here and I don't see that trend stopping. Very greedy company, but that's just the nature of corporations.

      intelligent co-workers, mediocre middle management, bad place for systems engineers

      Pros

      Some very smart people work here. It is not hard to find challenging and interesting tasks. Great place to learn. If you work hard, smart, and long, you can really get ahead

      Cons

      Stack ranking makes for somewhat strained relationship between co-workers. very poor work life balance if you want to get promoted. Amazon values builders -- which means that sstems engineers are a second class citizen. Turnover for Systems engineers is really high in retail.
