Pros
-I could improve professionally (e.g. stakeholder management, professional communication and writing) -the brand looks good on CV
Cons
-Amazon is like a cult, it is either you follow it or leave -It depends on the team if you feel ok, if you are unlucky like I was, you may suffer -no real collaboration, team work is just not part of the company culture, non-existent; very much working in silos -no real support from your direct manager, nobody is backing you -everything is about performance, no humanity is represented -Recruiters actually does not prescreen candidates, they just source them, no added value work, the job itself is a process management -EU Recruitment is led by UK leaders, feels like working on a colony -If upper management likes you, you will have a great career for ages, if not, you are just done -it is really hard to change levels and get a promotion -when I applied back then they did not tell me I was down leveled, I learned it on my first week. Total lack of transparency. -the average employment time is 1,8 years - speaks for itself -they fired a friend of mine during probation, although they have a very detailed and long hiring process. My friend relocated his whole family to Germany and had to find a job again.
