Great place to work, unless you are a woman. - Process Assistant Amazon Employee Review

Pros

You will learn a lot in a short amount of time. Amazon offers a school accommodation which allows you to drop below full time to complete your degree.

Cons

Women are treated poorly. An assertive woman gets constant criticism of being "too confrontational". An unassertive woman gets nothing. Meetings start and end with fantasy football, a topic in which I find it difficult to feign interest. Work assignments appear to mirror the progress of fantasy football. There is no work/life balance.

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.
