      You will learn a lot...and it will cost you

      Pros

      Very smart people, more than lip service to customers...real customer obsession. The old cliche of only change is constant is very true here.

      Cons

      Churn and burn culture. Highly confrontational culture. High stress and unrealistic work loads in the name of raising the bar. To be successful at Amazon, you either work harder than everyone else (which is NOT easy) or you are a rock star or you are both. If you don't fall into the above categories, you will struggle here.

      Watch out and quit in 1.5 years

      Technical program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Salary is competitive. They are willing to give you a 20-30% bump if you switch from Microsoft. - Technology is interesting in a few teams; many teams (like GPS or TRMS) do very mundane work though. - Good career boost when you quit (most people quit in 1-2 years)

      Cons

      Only choose Amazon if you have no other comparable option. Compensation package can be good, but remember that you are trading more hours and peace of mind. - It's not a happy place to work. Everyone is trying to survive and get through their pile of work. - There are plenty of better places to work, with better work environments and work-life balance. - Certain teams (like GPS and TRMS) do really mundane work that no one really cares about. No opportunity for career growth. - Management can be inexperienced and ruthless, a bad combination. Several people on my team were fired with no notice and questionable motives. - Long work hours. Always on culture. - Swim or sink culture. You are responsible for your survival; your managers and peers don't really care if you don't do well. - Lot of churn; people quit frequently or change teams. - Offices are bare and depressing. - Benefits? Just the bare minimum. - There are plenty of better choices. Only
