      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Opportunity to work with large scale systems. 2. Great for new grads to learn how service oriented systems work. 3. Work with smart people.

      Cons

      1. Virtually no perk. 2. Very stressful on-call/pager duty. 3. Very bad criteria for qualifying for green card processing (applicable to H1B visa holders) 4. Insignificant salary increment. 5. Frugality actually means being cheap and provide employees with cheap and inadequate hardware.

      Challenging Work, long hours

      Senior operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazon allows for changing the floor and systems around you. Nothing is sacred as long as safety and quality are not compromised , and the cost is kept cheap. It is a maturing company that is still not bogged down by corporate waste, and needless paperwork. They pay you very well.

      Cons

      Amazon hours are long and demanding. Work-life balance is a constant struggle, especially when peak rolls around, then one nearly lives at the building.

      Nice work, less pay.

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work environment with good people around. A steep learning curve for employees at all levels. Freedom to work in terms of hours as well as type of work. A lot of responsibility is given to employees.

      Cons

      Pay is less when compared to competitors. Employee retention isn't considered important for lower roles. Employees are encouraged to work for long hours.
