      Pros

      Inclusive and fun individuals overall! Senior leaders are really considerate of any individual. Amazon was launched few years ago and growth is amazing. You will see your direct contribution to make Amazon a landmark in BR. Good potential in career progression. Great learning curve as Amazon is still in its premises. Great benefits: Good healthcare, Portuguese/English lessons covered. Transition to WFH situation due to Covid is well-managed, and consider employees well-being for long term sustainability.

      Cons

      It is compulsory to speak Portuguese to succeed in Amazon BR. Also, in BR market, employees tend to long hours versus NA or EU working time. Salary not necessarily aligned to market, and nothing comparable to NA/EU salary level. Amazon doesn't have yet a process to consider intercultural integration for foreigners going to BR. To reduce this gap, I would advise to read "The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business".

      Mature software development, customer focus, not many perks

      Pros

      - The company highly focused on meeting customers' needs - Software development is very mature, and there are lots of tools to support engineering best practices - In general, people are talented and hardworking - Culture based on Leadership Principles is actually applied on a daily-basis

      Cons

      - Growing in the technical path is far from trivial. Employees really need to fight for their promotions, even if their performance is bar-raising for several years. - Managers don't have much technical knowledge. - Managers and stakeholders are constantly asking for effort estimates, but predicting things at Amazon is very hard, and usually predictions are just wild guesses that people end-up taking as promises set in stone.
