      Pros

      Smart people. Fast paced. Amazing problems to solve. Huge business opportunities to pursue. Big jobs. Great experience. Made me better.

      Cons

      Philosophy of getting the most out of people and paying them as little as possible. Survival of the fittest with no focus on people development. Too few people. Not supportive culture. High turnover. I see many employees who are not growing and who are developing very bad people management habits due to the example provided my their management. No end to the work you are ased to complete. No celbration of success - instead on to the next problem tosolve. Nothing is built to last. Things are built with duct tape because insufficient time invested to make things bullet proof.

      Pros

      Constant expansion means strong likelihood of promotion Stock value consistently rising 4 day work week

      Cons

      Expectation of managers to work 50-60 hours during normal weeks, 70-80 during holiday season. Will work one day of the weekend Will have to work at least 12 hours per day Zero job perks, i.e. free food, gym membership, discounts etc. Zero positive feedback, stellar performance is expected. Satisfactory performance is not tolerated. Manual labor required as management.

      Working in Amazon is worse than the worst nightmare you had!

      Pros

      Fast growth opens many positions to advance your career. Stock Price.

      Cons

      Most Horrible Work Conditions for employees. Incompetent Regional/Senior Management who know nothing of how business runs daily but make all decisions. No recognition for hard work and/or smart decisions. Too many changes that dont make sense and create lot of churn. Poorest work life balance. Lack of good systems and infrastructure to support employees who then have to make up through working even more.
