Pros

- This is a great position if you want to launch into the field of safety. Many people in Amazon use Safety or Management positions as a launch pad for other companies. Staying long term at Amazon in an L4+ position can be challenging depending on your site. - Extremely good benefits - Work life balance will be hit or miss depending on the schedule you get stuck with - Amazon's career choice program allows you to explore other educational opportunities for free

Cons

- Internal compensation for promotion isn't great. Many people find it better to leave the company and "boomerang" back in as an external applicant with Amazon experience for much better pay. - Sites throughout the network can vary drastically and some are known to be terrible to work at... There's always the chance of getting stuck at those locations.

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.
