Pros

-Great pay - Great time off - Great opportunities if you are hardworking and persistent and not easily discouraged.

Cons

-Theres quite a few middle managers who pull up the ladder. There are opportunities for climbing the ladder but they are hard to get, you can do if you stay positive, work hard and dont take set backs to heart. It can be crushing, getting interviews getting so far ahead and then ghosted at the last hurdle. Dont let it get to you. Be persistent, you can start as a CSA and work your way up anywhere, there are courses and opportunities! There are lots of set backs, the biggest disadvantage of working in Amazon is just how soul destroying it can feel at times, you think your getting somewhere and a lot of times you are not. It is really hard to stay positive but if you can let the set backs roll off your back and work hard and persist, there are great career paths there. There are a lot of really great people who recognise talent, stay positive and be persistent, work hard.

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.
