Vantaggi
+Learn an insane amount in a short period of time - feel like I crammed 2 years of education into a few months +There are a small number of awesome and nice people here +Dogs make everything better. +People outside of the company respect that you worked there, so it can be a good stepping stone
Svantaggi
I had reservations about Amazon coming in (partially from Glassdoor reviews, partially from friends who left). Needless to say, the negativity exists for a reason. -Chaos - Every day there is a new fire to fight and you have to drop everything to deal with it, even if it's not your fault. It is impossible to be organized and everything is done last minute. -Burnout - On my very first week at this job, I worked 65 hours. Things just continued to get worse and I averaged 75-80 hours a week for the majority of my time there. Weekends became a great time to catch up on mounds of emails, weekdays were long (730 AM - 10, 11 PM), and you won't be pleasant when you actually see your family. Over the course of my 3 months on the team, 35% of the team quit. That says something. -Poor middle management - Yes, they are also overwhelmed and overworked. But when you come on board as a new employee and literally receive NO training whatsoever, just a 5 page piece of paper with names of people to contact and websites to visits, that is concerning. And when you tell them you are overwhelmed, there isn't much they can do about it since there is so much work to be done and people are quitting all the time. -A very bro-ish culture that tolerates and even celebrates bigots and generally terrible people
