Good for starting career in IT

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- one of the biggest environment to work for - good place to get your initial experience

Cons

- lots of automation in place, so hard to learn basics - if you want to progress you need to forget about work/life balance - benefits are a joke

Work Hard, Work Harder, Work Some More

Data center manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Amazon has its hands into everything and this goes for all its business units. Whatever your profession or career level, you will become experienced with all facets of your job. -Great compensation package but also known as "Golden Handcuffs". -You are given a lot of responsibility and control over your department. You have a big impact wherever you are.

Cons

-There is no work/life balance (60-70 h/w) and due to the aforementioned "Golden Handcuffs", you are not given much choice in adjusting any imbalance. -The Amazon culture is Darwinian. This has led to significant levels favoritism. -I was forced to stack rank my direct reports and place the lower half on performance plans regardless of their actual performance.

Frupidity= Frugality + Stupidity = Amazon Core Value

Pros

If you see a problem, no one is going to stop you from grabbing it and developing an improvement

Cons

Highly unlikely that your pro-active efforts to fix a problem will benefit you personally. I witnessed manager directly benefiting (promotion) from other peoples initiative. Totally ripped off the people who developed the ideas, claiming them as his own. As George Bush Jr tried to say, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
