Pros

Rank and yank. Appreciate the quick removal of all the bad hires. Amazon has increasing difficulty on find good talent so they just throw in.

Cons

Get ready to work. Constant schedule changes. Ramping up headcount, ramping down headcount (layoffs). People and whole buildings will spring up and disappear in a matter of weeks. You and your operations partners are at the mercy of the "VOA" board. It's a public use board where associates can write literally anything. Including how much they hate amazon, their manager, want a union, etc. They almost never attack HR because in HR you learn to just bend the rules constantly. So get ready for a line of liars at your desk. Your door desk, LOL. No offices in sight. Yup, you work amongst the loud music, conveyors, and associates barking orders to eachother. How wonderful.

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.
