Business Outlook
Pros
- Free lunch - Weekly happy hour - Gym/commuting reimbursement - Amazon RSU - Some really smart and helpful people but it's hard to seek them out in a very political culture
Cons
- Lack of visionary product leaders - High turnover - Constant change in strategy from upper management - Lack of transparency given the hierarchal org structure - HR is not to be trusted with any concerns or bullying you might experience - No clear career path and very random/inconsistent promotions based on relationships rather than metrics and output - Internal transfer policy can be improved, Google "Amazon employee suicide"
