Pros

Good pay and medical benefits.

Cons

IF I COULD GIVE THEM A ZERO STAR I WOULD. Everything you read on the New York Times and CNN about abusing the management is TRUE. No work life balance AT ALL. You are expected to work 15-18 hour days. Management are hired and fired based on how well you and your boss get along. Because of the ranking structure, managers throw plot against other managers and throw them under the bus. Jeff Bezos must know what is going on because he is the one that initiated the 70-20-10 ranking system that all facilities MUST follow. Upper management micromanages. Feedback is taken as fact. Sr Managers promoting their best friends even though other managers are achieving better results. Majority of facility is Ex military so if you were not in some form of the military you will be segregated.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
