Amazon.com – “Fun company, tough to move upward

Amazon.com Associate Buyer in Seattle, WA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Fun company, good stock and benefits, challenging. They are building a new campus that is dog friendly and on South Lake Union!

Cons

Lower salary, hard to move upward, poor work/life balance. People tend to work a lot of hours here so it is important to try and define boundaries from the start

Advice to Senior Management

Don't be too busy to mentor talent. There is a lot of good young talent that needs nurtured so that they stay at Amazon for the long haul.

Is it worth leaving a company with good pay and benefits though doesn't have much of a way to move up to come here for a similar position to yours?
