Pros
-Getting to work at one of the biggest companies in the history of humanity -Getting to work with some of the smartest and brightest minds in the world -Most people are kind and professional -Great pay and solid benefits -Able to move around different teams within the company relatively easily
Cons
-Expect to work 50-60 hours a week if you want to succeed -Poor work/life balance -High turnover rate, don't be surprised if you have 5 different managers you report to in the span of a calendar year -Due to high turnover and the high likelihood of management not backfilling, expect to take on other people's roles & responsibilities along with your own -Amazon expects you to be a self-starter and self-sufficient, if you are not then you will be viewed as a low performer -Expect projects/initiatives that your team has worked on for months/years to abruptly be stopped and thrown in the trash in favor of another project/initiative that leadership would like to work on, so don't get emotionally attached to your work -Employee feedback is usually never addressed with actionable steps
