Pros

Inclusive and fun individuals overall! Senior leaders are really considerate of any individual. Amazon was launched few years ago and growth is amazing. You will see your direct contribution to make Amazon a landmark in BR. Good potential in career progression. Great learning curve as Amazon is still in its premises. Great benefits: Good healthcare, Portuguese/English lessons covered. Transition to WFH situation due to Covid is well-managed, and consider employees well-being for long term sustainability.

Cons

It is compulsory to speak Portuguese to succeed in Amazon BR. Also, in BR market, employees tend to long hours versus NA or EU working time. Salary not necessarily aligned to market, and nothing comparable to NA/EU salary level. Amazon doesn't have yet a process to consider intercultural integration for foreigners going to BR. To reduce this gap, I would advise to read "The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business".

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.
