Business outlook
Pros
- Highly analytical culture with decisions driven by data. - Culture is not very political. Delivering results is noticed and rewarded. - Roles tend to be broad in scope with a lot of ownership. - Decisions are generally made quickly.
Cons
- Don't expect many pats on the back. Amazon has a highly critical culture where you leave almost every meeting feeling like you could have / should have done better. You will be perpetually pushed to move smarter and faster and dive deeper. You will rarely meet the exceedingly high bar that is set... and if, somehow, you do hit it they will immediately move the bar and tell you to keep trying harder.
