Pros

The technology is cool. There are some very smart engineers there. It looks good to have Amazon on your resume.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture from middle and upper management. Promotion is extremely subjective. I was offered a 0% raise after being give an "exceeds expectations" perf review. I was only offered a raise (of 30%, I was severely underpaid) after I threatened to leave and lined up another offer. I was ultimately offered a 60% raise to stay and turned it down. I was treated like dirt. The turnover rate was over 75% for my team in 2 years. For a lot of the org it is this way. A lot of upper management hired their friends rather than qualified individuals for very high up positions. I was used and used until I couldn't take it anymore. I would never work here again, and I contemplated not paying back my sign on bonus due to misleading hiring practices and borderline harassment treatment by management. I can confidently say this company has huge turnover for good reason.

Pros

-Really impactful work, huge cost and time impact working on systems that get products from distributors to customers -Access to the full Amazon system: amazing resources for learning technical and soft skills. Cutting edge skills with machine learning and the cloud are core Amazon offerings, and you get outstanding exposure to these. Soft skills are high priorities, and heavily accompanied with high quality talks and trainings about why x and y are important and how to apply them. Huge fan of the Amazon Leadership Principles. -Very friendly environment, very flexible workplace. Give and take reality where people come and go as they please and frequently work from home. -Clear systems and transparency let you get involved in a lot of processes and understand why something was done the way it was done. -Work closely with a physical system and lots of people (in operations using your systems across the country). Robots are being tested/worked on in the same building where you work

Cons

-Flip side of give and take, you might get woken up to a 4am emergency a few times a year (depends on your team, could be more or less). -No free lunch, frugality is a soft skill/leadership principal

Pros

Big Name company. That is about it for a WOW factor.

Cons

Everything else, culture, management ignorance, promotion or lack of it, letting good people go. Office looks like a complete crap. Very little team building exercises. Very little appreciation for good job done. People are killing themselves to get promoted. Management not honest in review process, so you may end up on the bottom of their list without knowledge.
