Business Outlook
Pros
Amazon offers more competitive pay for PR professionals relative to industries outside of tech, but within tech it is on the lower side. The compensation philosophy is based on "ownership" so there is heavy emphasis on RSUs bolstering the base pay. The people who work at Amazon are incredibly bright. Working at a large corporation provides a wide array of experiences and you can easily move within the company once you are hired.
Cons
It is really difficult to get promoted and so many people get stuck. It is heavily bureaucratic, and the document writing process can be a pain. Base salaries are low among the tech industry. Strict about being in office 5 days a week.
