Business Outlook
Pros
- High caliber of employees - Wide range of responsibilities expected of everyone - Good compensation - Fast-paced environment
Cons
- Work overload. No boundaries when it comes to working nights, weekends, and any time you may want to have a non-Amazon thought. This is after 12.5 years in 6 different departments. - Cut Throat - the culture there is intense, and not for the fainthearted. Since there is a strict policy of cutting the bottom 10 percent per year, it creates an environment where managers are _looking_ for someone faltering. - Customer-Not employee-centric.
