Pros

It's an amazing company where you will learn a lot. learning curve is steep and stays the same through out your Amazon tenure

Cons

You will be always be under pressure to work more and perform more as you will be under focus (PIP) and then terminated There is no work life balance and forget about long vacations Every six months, you will enter into hunger games arena, where you will stack ranked against others in the team, the one at the bottom will be eliminated. The elimination can be technical skills, issues with your manager or may be disagreering Forget about Family and work life balance, as policies can suddenly change.

Pros

Your peers at Amazon are the best of the best, for better or worse. It is a competitive environment that forces you to grow personally and professionally. Most importantly, I learned to articulate my ideas through writing at Amazon.

Cons

If you’re a high performer your scope can grow incredibly fast. If you’re not considered a significantly high performer you’re at risk of performance management. This is not a hospitable environment for parents of children.
