Pros

Exposure to different types of work and industries Experience working in a fast-paced environment

Cons

No investment in the individual workers As a Manager I have been forced to fire good performers to meet Amazon's non-voluntary attrition numbers I have been promoted multiple times, but always make significantly less than my male counterparts who I perform better than. My managers have not been willing to adjust my compensation or provided support in my development. I do all development activities on my own time. Expected to be constantly available. This got worse during COVID, but was always an expectation.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
