Pros

Amazon will offer you more money than you ever expected and entice you with sign on bonuses and stock packages that almost double your salary the first couple of years.

Cons

THEY ARE NOT EVOLVING. Everything with their leadership principles does not apply to upper leadership. The entire experience is about becoming an Amazonian - aka - don't think for yourself. Don't every think outside of the box, and whatever you do, don't try to collaborate. My entire experience was the worst with cold people, competition, rules that cannot be broken or changed, even if they are outdated ways of thinking. The few who still held on to a bit of their authenticity were hard to find, but they were constantly in fear and struggling.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
