      Burning out the Talent

      Pros

      Despite having a bad experience I would still recommend working at Amazon. I can only speak for my experience within my team, not the entire company. Some Pros are: You have the opportunity to invent and not be tied down by too many processes and paperwork. Great internal resources and tools to grow. A lot of talented team members. Fun work environment. Compensation and benefits are very competitive.

      Cons

      I have seen too many full time employees transfer out of a dept or leave the company. All blame work/life balance. There seems to be this "boil the ocean" mentally with leadership. People I know including myself, worked 10-12 hour days and weekends just to keep up with the demand. This was just peaks and valleys based on project phases. This was constant. Its all about driving results with no consideration to the toll it takes on the team.

      Amazing Amazon !!!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My feedback is based on 3 months i have spent in the organization, but i believe intial couple of months provides you the future direction the organization is heading towards 1. Employee get the chance to drive their work. No micro managment by managers. 2. Very flexible in terms of timings to be at work. All that matters is getting the job done. 3. Decent pay compared to other players in the market, but they make you work for each rupee they give you 4. Fun to be at work place with very informal peers and managers. Looking at the person you can never judge if he/she is junior resource or senior. 5. Excellent monetary benefits like Sodexo, internet re-imbursement, Gym re-imbursement and home pickup and drop facility

      Cons

      1. Sometimes it can be long working hours, maybe 50-55 hrs a week. 2. As US based peers are based out of Seattle, need to take call PST time which can be challenging for india based employees. 3. It could be tough for new employees to understand work fast as the organization lack documentation and hence employee need to learn via trail and error way.

      A great place to learn

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazon is a great place to learn, but the company will burn you out if you let them. Most people at the company are fairly young due to the demanding schedules, but it is a challenging, fun place to work. Pay is average, but stock bonuses raise total compensation above most employers especially when the stock price goes up significantly in a year.

      Cons

      Promotions and good reviews are dependent on having a good manager. A bad manager can ruin your experience. Definitely not the place to work if you are into being pampered and having your feelings catered to. People are very direct and to the point. It helps business get done quickly, but there isn't much tolerance for politics and little concern about creating a "feel-good" work environment.
