Pros

Amazon has a unique culture of letting you set your goals & drive your career, so far it aligns with the organization/team goals. I am particularly pleased about their two-way-door policy which allows employees to make quick decisions or experiment ideas unilaterally without bureaucracy. It helps you invent quickly

Cons

Too many information, too many emails & little guidance. It always feel like you are drinking from a fire hose. If you are a type A person, always hungry for knowledge, you will thrive here. You will be doing so much that may impact your worklife balance

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
