      It's not perfect, but it's pretty good

      Pros

      Amazon is a great place to learn from smart people, particularly at our remote development site. There's a lot of opportunity for motivated engineers to learn a lot about all aspects of software development and make a direct difference to the business.

      Cons

      Opportunities for promotion or different work are limited at our remote development site. And dealing with people in other sites is a common source of stress.

      Cheaper company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You're CTC might appear as a good number (read the offer doc carefully, even the employer PF goes from your CTC) Number of stocks (mostly you'll get it after 3 years - depends upon the employee) Lot of technical challenges (which is good for learning) Employees don't speak English, they'll speak in some programming languages :)

      Cons

      As someone mentioned, Employees are "Resources". Management will look at you as a "price tag". Facilities are too frugal and I feel most of the employees became "miser" after joining here. They'll say its "Cheap and Best" but most of the time its just "Cheaper". You've to ask for everything (even simple stationaries) and fight for hike. No free transport (around 4k per month in India). Never expect work-life balance (might have seen this in other reviews). Can't do any higher studies in correspondence even with your own money (due to some stupid policy). And at last, never expect any perks (apart from tea/coffee and employee medical insurance). This company will change the way, you look at the money you may miss the other part of your life after joining! Why I'm still here? Just to get a brand name in my resume!
