Pros

Below average, redundant work. Paid vending machines. Biased mediocre managers.

Cons

Everything you have heard about Amazon is very true. The team is filled with mediocre employees who have worked in random companies with bad work cultures. Amazon hires them and destroy it's own work culture. Amazon hires these bozos because the work is absolutely pathetic and only these kind of people will tolerate the toxic work culture for such tasks. Majority of the teams at Amazon has below average work, so you need to be lucky to get any good work. No smart guy will stay at Amazon. Amazon has tons of bozos and random managers. Amazon has grown a lot and because of this, random bozos with zero management experience/background are being promoted to Managers. These kind of people simply bring their favoritism and personal biases to management. These people destroy the work culture and generate office politics. Overall, Amazon is a very difficult place to work.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
