False promises! Leadership lacks integrity
Pros
+ Density of talent: Really smart people, tough interviewing + Brand: Goes without saying though other companies are increasingly not hiring Amazonians at senior level because of concerns of disrupting their culture as Amazonians are getting increasingly arrogant
Cons
- Career growth: Impossible to get to Director, even more impossible to get to VP - Leadership lacks integrity: I was hired as Director and then promised to get to VP within 12 months, I took a pay cut to do so. All those promises have gone out of the window, and now I am getting BS served for the last 3 years, even though the performance is top tier. There was no need to make these false promises. - Compensation: This can be tricky, you can get a windfall or huge paycut depending on the stock price. Really unpredictable.
