Pros

Great pay, amazing benefits, cool people, project management, great collaborative work environment, 100% college tuition reimbursement, they will help you buy your first home after 2 years, amazing health benefits, great open door policy, you feel like you belong and are heading in the right direction for the first time in your life, next day delivery (before Amazon!!!), low turnover on all staff

Cons

Poor flexibility, you’re not really sure what your job is, very outdated software/tech, you’re constantly told about how great the company is, everyone seems weirdly a little too happy and kind which makes it kinda creepy, you feel tied down to your wfh setup and then it feels like you’re life is actually just work and work and work, horrible impact on the health of the environment (all calls need to have your zoom camera on and that is horrible on the environment…)

Pros

- Pay/benefits are incredibly generous - People are generally easy/nice to work with - Note that the Systems department seems to be fairly isolated from the negative issues discussed in other reviews (e.g. tension between warehouse workers and management) - I haven't experienced any of those issues within the systems department. In my opinion, Systems is a great place to work and develop as an engineer. - Hybrid work style (3 days in office). Personally, I like hybrid more than both fully in-office and fully remote styles. - Great cafeteria with good food and cheap prices. - Good work/life balance (outside of being on call, I can leave work at work).

Cons

- Work is not super interesting to me. I come from a highly technical, but very different (not ecommerce/industrial supplies), background where I was doing work I was much more interested in. No doubt there are folks in Systems who love the domain though. - While I'm not on call a ton (1-2 weeks every few months), I really hate being on call. I like to leave work at work. Note that joining at least one reliability team is expected within your first year or so.
