Pros

Very upfront about expectations. Things move very fast. Amazon places a lot of emphasis on promoting from within. If you want to advance in ranks, there is definitely opportunity to do so. You have to make an effort though and let the right people know that you are interested in growth and opportunity.

Cons

Everyone is placed in categories. There is a separation from warehouse employees (Tier 1) and upper level (Tier 3 and above). At times, people in Tier 1 are "stuck" and it's difficult to advance.

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.
