Pros

- Use of mostly VBA + SQL to create dashboards and reports. - Decent starting point for people that want experience in programming

Cons

- No real mentorship or advancement opportunities unless you make the jump to software developement or into operations management. - Pay way under industry standard for developers. - Inconsistent across the region, you probably won't be doing exactly what another PD is doing at another site.

Amazon pushes you to always be thinking bigger, improving your processes, and becoming more agile

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.
