Pros

Its a fairly decent company to work for although it can get crazy and hectic come the holidays. The pay scale is fairly average I suppose however for the amount of work that you're required to do (ie putting in OT alot) and constantly changing work schedules (tends to change every 6-8 months) and dealing with angry customers makes it seem below average. Communication between management and employees can go either way. All in all not a bad place to work.

Cons

Schedules being changed every 6-8 months and the stress of dealing with really angry customers.

Amazon offers an exceptional work environment with cutting-edge technology and world-class engineering challenges. The compensation package is highly competitive, including strong base salary, RSUs, and comprehensive benefits. Career growth opportunities are abundant — there are clear promotion paths and access to internal mobility across thousands of teams globally. The scale of impact is unmatched; you work on systems that serve hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. Colleagues are incredibly talented, driven, and collaborative, making every project both challenging and rewarding.

Cons

The pace can be fast and demanding at times, which requires strong time management skills. Work-life balance may vary depending on the team and project deadlines.

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.
