Pros

- Focus on Innovation and Big idea; Company is working on a lot of interesting and innovative things - Data driven company so any recommendation need to be backed up by numbers - Customer Centric

Cons

- I did not believe Amazon was kind of a place that is described by new York times article until I experienced a bad pocket in amazon myself - The group I worked for had a lot of conflicts between leaders and team morale was quite low. The person I was reporting was horrible and gave me projects which are no where related to the reason I was hired in the job. - They ended up giving me a PIP six months in the job despite I had Outperform rating in the previous year. My manager forced me to signed PIP document and kept on finding faults in my work. She gave me 6 things to do to turn things around plan. I worked diligently on the plan but despite this she tried with all her might to find fault in the work I did. It was a clear indicator was she has clear interest in finding all faults in the work I was doing. This was the worst experience of my life to work with such person and getting hammered for everything I worked for. There were no checks on this manager and her manager blindly trusted what she portrayed. HR had no interest in listening to the argument.

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.
