Pros

When I joined about three years ago stock was low, it went up 3x, compensation wise I made good money however there is no life work balance, there is no appreciation. I did not get any raise in last three years. Most worker bees - SA, TAM, SDEs, proserve consultants are nice people. I enjoyed working with such talented people but managers and directors are ruining this company.

Cons

I worked here for about three and half years. Company was great when I joined. Now its bad. Many useless managers, play dirty politics to survive. Directors and senior leaders in our org can be replaced by rock and company will still do better. They have no leadership skills. Andy Jassy, Jeff Bezos are good but theirs values not followed by these managers. Andy and Jeff have no time to motivate workers anymore. There is push for female equality but that just means promoting non qualified women to leadership positions. Long term this is against cause of equality. This is not fare to hardworking and qualified men, we have families too. There are good female leaders such as Teresa Carlson, she is the best, deserves to be the leader, she motivates and takes care of her people.

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.
