It's either good or bad - Systems Administrator Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

Amazon doesn't act like a company, it's more like thousands of tiny startups in a trench coat acting like 1 company. When it's good, it's good, but when it's bad, it's really bad.

Cons

Each team has some similarities, but the thing I've noticed is your team is either doing well or it's struggling, and it's rare to see that change. When a team is doing well, it's great, but if your team is low-performing, it rarely gets better, and you need to get out before you get sucked down with it.

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
