      Room for advancement?

      Pros

      You can't deny that Amazon offers great benefits from the sign on bonus to the health coverage package even Restricted Stock Units. Amazon offers one heck of a competitive package.

      Cons

      If you don't work in production, like myself, there isn't any room for advancement past a specific level. No upward movement makes for a very unhappy employee in my opinion. They need to offer the employees more options for advancement. They also don't offer tuition reimbursement which is strange for a huge corporation if you ask me. Communication within the company is lacking and it seems that even if there were opportunities for advancement in my area, you have to be cut-throat to get there.

      Pros

      - A vibrant and smart internal community to interact with - Customer-oriented and goal-driven focused work - Flatter hierarchy and easier approachability of people higher in the ladder

      Cons

      - The working hours can be sometimes too much. - The operational load is shared by developers. - The compensation plans lags behind other big players in industry.

      Pros

      Fast Paced, work on interesting and complex projects. The computers and equipment were newer. Free Happy Hour on Fridays

      Cons

      Managers are disrespectful. Yelling seems to be acceptable behaviour. No clear goals to be measured against. People from other departments are hostile and don't want to work with other departments for the common good. The yelling from the manager killed off all 7 contractors. The lead developer would yell over the slightest issue. It was later discovered he was fired from previous job because he couldn't get along with anyone.
