Pros
Lots of experts, nice campus, good internal tech, access to AWS teams.
Cons
- Once you RSU's start to vest after many years of hard work you become a target. You probably will never be allowed to vest. - Foreign managers spend all their time trying to get visas for their friends back home instead of doing their job working for your team. - Secret feedback and stack ranking. - Raises max out at 2.5% which is COLA and require an exceeds performance review. Normal is 0-1%. - Corrupt hiring and review process. Sort of like Hunger Games/Tinder. Don't be old, fat, or ugly. - Jeff Bezos Quote: "Customers expect Amazon to have a young urban workforce" Blatant ageism.
