Pros

Customer focus and builder mentality are a plus. You'll learn to be an internal entrepreneur given the startup culture that Amazon promotes.

Cons

Once growth ended in 2021, its now the house of pain. The people and managers are miserable. The leadership principles only apply to those leaders that are high enough and live in locations that aren't impacted by archaic relocation and in-person mandates. Its hard to focus on your job when everyone is planning an exit and this is exactly the environment that Jassy and Galetti created. I imagine they believe that in the short term, they'll create shareholder value but the impact to people is horrible.

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.
