Pros

- Good pay - working on impactful projects - Collaboration with talented engineers - Learning how to run projects and teams the Amazon way

Cons

- Worst management ever in my 17 years career, not empathetic and not at all striving to be best world's employer ( one of the last LPs) if not trying to be the worst. - Over applying the processes and LPs in a dumb manner sometimes, no adaptability no creativity - Your previous experience is completely ignored, you hear a lot you need to learn the amazon way. - A lot of politics, if you know the system you can twick it for your favour. - Not as inclusive as Amazon states, regular late meetings with US leadership ignoring the time difference. - Stressful environment on which only delivering results counts not the people at all - Treated as kids with the RTO communication

Pros

Easy work for good pay. Lots of career advancement opportunity. Very luxurious compared to other warehouses and very forgiving.

Cons

Not a lot of bathrooms and when you're being time tracked for productivity it can be very difficult to find a time to comfortably go.

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.
