Pros
The work is exciting, fresh, innovative and creative. In my 17 year career I have never been in a company where I feel that my work matters and makes a difference, every day. From your first day you I was given big problems to solve, and it has not slowed down. Amazonians want to get things done so delivering results is in everyone’s DNA. Decisions are data driven and I haven’t heard anyone say “my manager wants this so let’s do it”. I should have joined sooner, so if you have an opportunity to work at Amazon, and if you liked the people you will be working with, do it! You won’t regret it.
Cons
You need to pay attention and be very intentional about work-life balance. Amazon gives you a lot of autonomy so you can end up owning more than you can handle.
