      Good for initial days of career but too time demanding yet no productivity

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Brilliant People 2. Get to work on projects/product with large scale impact 3. The brand name in industry is good

      Cons

      1. No work-life balance. People who are single and are workaholic would enjoy it in initial few years. 2. You might end up having a boss who is far less qualified than you. 3. Operations are on the head of developers so new product development is always hampered. 4. Employees are more or less a disposable commodity for the company

      Keep away, they'll squeeze you until the last drop.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company pays good salaries and, for the lucky ones, they offer a decent environment to work. Amazon is a huge channel and will make your work reach incredible visibility around the world, but don't fool yourself, you won get any extra bonus because your uncountable extra hours of hard work

      Cons

      During the hiring process, how about asking to your interviewer about company turnover ratio? The HR works hard to hire good engineers, but the internal culture of Zero training makes everybody to burnout in the first months. The managers have unreal expectations of all employees. They won't think twice before making a bad review of you because you didn't reached the ridiculous bar they set to you.
