a2z Development Center Reviews

Pros

Great life balance. Very friendly environment

Cons

The office is not too glamorous

Pros

you come to find out early that management HR does not care if you leave or stay that you're just a number in the system. Expendable not appreciated. I work was seriously good work ethic people with only Amazon and Amazon Customer in mind hey Princeton graduate you have people that actually have integrity character and work ethic that are often ignored as troublemakers and eventually terminated and they call it rate I think this company is a 1920 Sweatshop with a bright shiny name they did teach you one thing in Princeton Before how to lie to the public and make them think they need something that you put out there all on the backs of their children slaving away in hot buildings being bullied because they don't know their rights it's their first job people that say this is a great company are lying through their teeth if this was a great company they wouldn't have such horrific reviews online I'd like to see all Seattle upper management come down and work and our conditions you people people pay x amount of money for a piece of paper and forget where you come from shame on you be so slap yourself in the head with one of your books

Cons

I know what a pro and a con is I just needed the extra room I believe Amazon and its attorneys have found every loophole and every labor law possible every civil law and are walking a fine line between discrimination on every level. Bezo Your Donald Trump with your most customer Centric company.

Pros

Amazon has a great working environment in SLO. Between easy-to-walk-to lunch places and free bagels on Thursday, it's situated in the perfect location. Everyone there is pleasant and willing to help out with whatever problem you need, and there's never any pressure to work late hours and on weekends.

Cons

While it's a great internship experience during the summer when we get to work full time, it can be easy to fall behind and not feel like much progress is being made once school starts and we work less than 20hrs/week.

Pros

There are some smart kids to work with. Free milk & soda Bagel once a week That's all you can get.

Cons

Read the nytimes article. It's even worse. No respect for quality working people. Worst management ever. Not even an equal opportunity employer.

Pros

casual dress code - flips flops, shorts, t-shirt bankers hours good pay smart people

Cons

no on-boardng sink or swim atmosphere managers technical experts though weak people skills

Pros

$$$ - Solid base and sign-on bonus for year 1-2 (but don't ever expect a performance bonus or a base increase over 2.5% -Some incredibly talented people working there (not sure if any left now) -- they base their stock offers on the 30 day trailing average (of the stock's performance)- so keep that in mind when negotiating. That being said, good luck making it the 2+ years to collect

Cons

-Management is there to beat you down and make sure you never get promoted. I've never worked anywhere with a higher turnover rate or lower morale. -Too many levels of red-tape to count. -The mothership (seattle) still controls all the strings and music is less of a priority to amzn than all the other media teams- 'red-headed stepchild
