If you are passionate about the craft of your work, you will love it here.

Program manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazon is a fast-moving, big-thinking organization that allows for innovation and initiative. There are no two-way doors here. Opportunities to do creative work on a very big scale abound. It's like being in a PhD program and getting paid for it. As well, mechanisms are built into the processes to continuously reinforce the leadership principles AMZN is built on.

Cons

Amazon is not for everyone. It is demanding and exacting, data-driven and truly customer obsessed. It can feel like swimming upstream in a flooded river. That is why you must love your work as a craft. If you love your work, you will thrive. If your prime motivation is something else, you will burn out.

Pros

Great resume-builder, great way to sharpen your tech-industry skills. Endless opportunities to explore and grow skills outside of your comfort zone, provided you are high enough on the food chain and have a supportive manager. Relatively easy to move to a new product/department.

Cons

As a six-year veteran of Prime Video, I was disappointed by what the department had become by the time I finally decided to leave. Little to no interest in diversity or inclusion. Inexcusable bias apparent in nearly every department - you will rarely see an upper management that includes anyone other than white and Indian cis-gendered men. Well-liked and respected people managers regularly pushed out in favor of kingdom-builders and obvious narcissists for whom basic empathy is not part of the job. Overworked employees crying in bathrooms or empty cabanas. 14 hour days and overly taxing on-call rotations.
