Empowered to do anything
Pros
I love the way I have time to onboard and how all of the training and tutorials set you up for success. This company is rumored to be a sweat shop where you are overworked. The truth is that if you allow teams to work you to the bone than it will happen. However, during the onboarding you are trained and mentored on the "way to work" from day 1 on how to keep this from happening! I am only in my second month but have full confidence in my role on my team as well as expectations. I know I will be extremely happy hear for as long as I choose to be. That is the other benefit. The career growth is unparalleled and it does not matter if you have been at your position for six months or six years. If you want to make a move, you are encouraged and empowered to do so.
Cons
Although I consider it a Pro, Amazon's peculiar way of working can be overwhelming to some and its not for everyone. If you are not able to "buy in" this may not be the company for you.
