Pros

The pay and good serverance if you are laid off.

Cons

Given the mass layoffs, the workload is heavy and it does not stop. AI helps with productivity, but given the workload, it just gives you time to do other work. The new annual review process (yes, we have stacked ranking) is even more cut-throat. You work 50+ hours a week non-stop and show impact to just keep your job.

Pros

Amazon is fast paced with great compensation.

Cons

Employees take a back seat to the product. More stringent on time in office over actual work hours.
