Pros

Amazon provided lots of opportunity to grow, get promoted, and move around in the organization. The culture was professional and mature. Amazon LPs are not just tag-lines, they are deeply integrated into daily operations. The compensation was outstanding.

Cons

Amazon didn't seem to fully appreciate the nuances of my industry which was a relatively new market for the corporation. It didn't seem to be a great fit for the corporate culture and I think that made it diffult to find a successful approach.

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.
