Probation in the world's largest startup - Sr. Product Manager - Technical Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

Amazon is continuously innovating every day and if that is what you want the management support all the great ideas that you bring, just put it down in a piece of paper in the format of a PRFAQ and it may be funded or not. Likewise there are thousands of other product managers doing the same thing. There are very clear mechanisms to escalate things, that could be a taboo in other companies. So things move very fast. But you also have to move very fast. If you like to work, plate is full. Initial package is fairly competitive if you were able to negotiate a good package.

Cons

Performance evaluation is rigorous, and I see a lot of people put in focus or in pip, leaving. If you do an ROI, pays off if you are in top tier that exceed performance for various consecutive years. Otherwise, there may be more attractive places elsewhere.

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
