Restrictive, bereft of creativity, too chaotic. - Content Developer Amazon Employee Review

Pros

Great pay, opportunity to get involved with several projects not directly linked with (or above) the normal duties of your role. Higher management relatively approachable. Good managers will look to help or guide you where required.

Cons

The rate of change is so frequent that it's hard to keep track of what you're meant to be doing and why. Culture is very rigid; can't be promoted or move sideways without jumping through a ridiculous amount of hoops (if at all). Very process-driven without any room allowed for simplification. Insane levels of bureaucracy, very tiring when easier ways are possible. Avoid if you are in any way creative or independent.

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.
