Pros

I love the way I have time to onboard and how all of the training and tutorials set you up for success. This company is rumored to be a sweat shop where you are overworked. The truth is that if you allow teams to work you to the bone than it will happen. However, during the onboarding you are trained and mentored on the "way to work" from day 1 on how to keep this from happening! I am only in my second month but have full confidence in my role on my team as well as expectations. I know I will be extremely happy hear for as long as I choose to be. That is the other benefit. The career growth is unparalleled and it does not matter if you have been at your position for six months or six years. If you want to make a move, you are encouraged and empowered to do so.

Cons

Although I consider it a Pro, Amazon's peculiar way of working can be overwhelming to some and its not for everyone. If you are not able to "buy in" this may not be the company for you.

Pros

My experience at Amazon has been exceptional thus far. From by onboarding (virtual employee), to the communication and ramp up time I've received from the team to familiarize myself with the role, has been quite amazing. So far I've felt like I am truly valued for what I bring to the position, and have learned a ton in the short amount of time that I have been here. As far as work life balance goes, I always heard horror stories about employee burnout, but I am happy to say that hasn't been my experience at all, nor that of my colleagues and the people I work with. I LOVE the collaborative environment that the company has established through its' culture, particularly when it comes to innovation, and having the ability to gain multiple perspectives while presenting your ideas, without all the bureaucracy you get exposed to in other companies. This is exactly why they're always at the top of the industry, they listen to the customer, and reinvent experiences using the feedback gathered. I can truly say, I am very happy to be working at Amazon.

Cons

The project/ resource management tools could be a bit better. Comparing it to other tools/ software I used in the past, it lacks some functionality to be able to streamline processes, or be able to present program level initiatives in a more effective manner.
