Pros

Having Amazon on your CV is highly regarded as well as the pay for a 'graduate job' being overall higher than most graduate jobs

Cons

Poor management, lack of organisation/communication from seniors, can be difficult going into the role as a graduate as the environment can be seen as a 'dog eat dog world'. A lot of 'step-up' Area managers aka team leaders also end up being bullies due to them thinking they have more knowledge than you. Also the particular warehouse lacked senior female management and POC managers.

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.
