Pros

Insanely easy. Literally a monkey could do it. IF you need a source of income for a little while its a place to go. Just treat it for what it is, the ULTIMATE corporate office job. Some managers are far better than others. However upped management don't seem to have a strong grip on reality. Go in. Do your job take a long break when needed (literally they won't notice if you do your job) and leave.

Cons

Some people really took the job too seriously and thought it was a life or death situaiton. Some of the mangers are so aloof and so disconnected from reality they make decisions that they don't grasp will have consequences. IE forcing people to go full-time "or else" during the busiest time of the year. Capping hours at 32 hours and penalizing people for wanting to work overtime. then ::Shocked pikachu face:: You wonder why you are understaffed and can't fill your schedule. Also if an employee has their phone out and ISN'T using it there is no need to try and make an example out of them and make a scene. look at the productivity of employees from an objective manner and not based upon anecdotal observation. It's amazon. I

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
