Pros

I came for the Amazon name, but am staying for the wonderful teammates and manager! Truly a great place to work and have been super happy with my two managers who’ve put my professional development as a top priority.

Cons

I’ve heard your experience can be VERY team dependent, all I’ll say is the Kumo team is the place to be!

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
