In line with global corporate policy, Amazon's employee benefits are slim, as the company strongly believes in letting employees choose for themselves and pay out of pocket for things that they find valuable rather than take the paternalistic approach of choosing for them. That said, the total compensation package does not account for the less than competitive benefits, leaving people who choose to pay out of pocket worse off.

Amazon has what they call a "Compensation Plan" which includes the base annual salary, RSUs and other things. The base salary is below or around the market average and is never among the best companies. Regarding the RSUs (Restricted Stock Units), you will get a number of them in your offer (but will not really own them until you complete some time in the company) and you will be told that you will earn them in percentages in the next 4 years. So you will earn like 10% after you complete your first year, and then another 10% every 6 months (this is just an example and might not be very accurate). Regarding the other benefits, they are certainly below the average as other companies provide better health insurance. Regarding the company culture and work pressure, I believe that the company is pioneer in regards to "raise the bar", however, some managers are not applying the spirit of "raise the bar" in a healthy way. There is a serious leadership issue in Amazon in terms of managers being connected to the Individual Contributors and feeling their pains. Amazon became one of the largest employers in the world in a short time and this has an expensive price of promoting a lot of fake leaders to managerial positions which is causing a hard to see long term issue (it is no secret that, in the pandemic, so many people are leaving the company to other places).
