Pros
Free lunch Amazon stock vests after one year of service Good parental leave Not expected to work long hours or on weekends
Cons
Boring corporate structure and boring office. Very little personality in the company, and the brand. Desperately wants to move quickly like a startup, but doesn’t have the flexibility or technology to make it happen. Too many processes in place that have single points of failure. CRO is signing off on marketing plans and making product decisions. So much business jargon. Antiquated internal Amazon tools make easy things difficult. Newark is so far from NYC and there is nothing to do. Can’t run any errands at lunch time. No camaraderie after work because no one wants to hang out in Newark after work.
