Pros

I really wish I could point out pros but there currently aren't any.

Cons

Amazon has shifted from being a company of innovation to a company of bureaucracy and teams battling for head count. Morale is at an all time low and leadership has no interest in addressing it. Instead they seem laser focused on building new policy to hurt workers. This is no longer a company of innovation or Day 1 culture but is instead a graveyard. It's so sad to watch it fail and not be able to do anything about it.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
