Pros
- resume booster - learn a lot - everything is easier after Amazon Things got a lot easier when I drew boundaries and only did 40 hours of work. When you logically piece together why you can’t take on more projects, there is work life balance. Amazon is also very good at giving potential a chance, letting people transfer job functions or teams within the company with ease (at the L4+ levels).
Cons
- internal pay structure sucks - promotions are heavily contingent on whether c-executives like you or not I know this is very dependent on management structure, but when you have transferred 3 times and encountered the same things even though the teams are vastly different, there is a systemic issue with how Amazon selects upper and middle management.
