Pros

Prestige of working for a large tech company. My position was virtual with no need to go into the office.

Cons

Joining Amazon Business was the worst experience of my 20+ year career. I realized I made a mistake within the first 30 days after I joined. The tools and technology we use were primative at best and didn't add any value on my resume. My manager was out of touch and totally didn't care that his people were burnt out. Massive work loads of customer calls and initiatives that was impossible complete without putting in 50+ hours. My manager was a minion for Amazon and I truly believe he didn't have a life otherwise. I finally left because the job was not worth my mental / physical health. I wish I had a time machine to go back and decline that offer in the first place. The heath benefits sound good at first until you need to go the doctor. None of the plans offer a copay and you have to pay in full for an office visit until you meet your deductible.

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.
