Pros

1- There are COUNTLESS opportunities available to you. 2- Every Associate has exposure to diverse workforce in both skills and backgrounds. 3- Data/fact driven to make sure that decisions are logically justified and sound. 4- The company is growing like a weed with no signs of slowing down anytime soon!

Cons

1- While there are a lot of opportunities, there are also several more other eager and competitive candidates pursuing each and every one. It is very difficult to stand out amongst the competition. 3- While the doc culture surfaces some great insights and decisions, it requires an impractical amount of time to create a proper doc, limiting the available time to actually "get things done." 4- The company (intentionally or otherwise) encourages a competitive culture where every Associate needs to exceed their peers. It delivers great results, but also can generate burnout trying to "be better than everyone else." 5- Work/life balance management is a non-stop juggling act between deliverables, outshining peers, and trying not to burnout personal relationships outside of work. 6- The "total compensation" structure is not ideal ("great performance" yields no annual raise in lieu of stocks 3yrs from now and the growth of my previously awarded stocks impact my current reward?!)

Cons

- The ambiguity isn’t a problem but at amazons scale slows down processes at times - approach to certain things aren’t as great as they should be - central teams are a drag when they underperform
