Pros

The scope of responsibility is immense and commensurate learning curve is steep which is good at the start of ones career. Pathways have good visibility inside Amazon Ops world and hence have good future mobility options if they stick around

Cons

Work-life balance is absolutely horrible! The work-culture is not at all nurturing but is infact extremely intimidating. The Leadership Principles, which form the backbone of everything Amazon, are often used as a convenient beating stick. Program barely instills in your any business acumen or builds on one's analytical capabilities. Its a one-dimensional program with potential to develop only man-management capabilities rendering it generic in nature

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.
