Pros

You can wear whatever you want to work

Cons

It's not really an HR role. You are an HR Assistant at best. They treat you like an hourly employee ( zero flexibility, no time off, etc.) but expect you to work 13 hour days. You do a lot of administrative/busy tasks that have nothing to do with HR and add no value to the business. I had to start seeing a therapist to deal with working there. Lots of active shooter threats and horrible investigations. A friend of mine told me not to work there because they treat their HR horribly. I did not listen. If you are talented please do not join Amazon. You will waste time you cannot get back.

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.
