Vantaggi
I'm giving Amazon five stars because, truly, the culture is incredible. Everyone during my onboarding has been incredibly helpful. No one says "That's not my job" but actually takes time to help you and give you the insider scoop. It's scary as hell because I'm allowed to innovate for a HUGE audience. Huge meaning over 100k people that I impact. How much scarier can a job get? But, at the same time, can it get more exciting and interesting than this?? I submit that it cannot.
Svantaggi
Onboarding is good, but it's not really job-specific. It would have been more helpful to have an onboarding buddy in my timezone, and someone to shadow me during my first program launches to at least give some sort of guiderail on how PMing is done here at Amazon. Plus, it would have helped a lot to have an onboarding buddy that helps me in navigating the political nuances of the leadership team. Also, I'm still 0% sure what my measures of success are. That makes me nervous.
