Pros

Amazon offers large-scale business ownership, strong leadership principles, and many opportunities to work on complex, high-impact programs. I was able to collaborate with talented people across business, product, operations, and technology teams, and gained valuable experience leading cross-functional initiatives at significant scale.

Cons

The pace and ambiguity can be very intense, especially when priorities change quickly or organizations go through restructuring. Workload can be heavy, and success often requires strong stakeholder management, resilience, and comfort operating with limited guidance.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
