Pros

Amazon is a huge tech company that is revolutionizing different businesses and pretty much redefining those. E.g. shopping (Amazon Go), delivery (Amazon Flex), Cloud Computing (AWS) etc.

Cons

This is only based on experience in SCOT (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies) organization. -> Extremely hierarchical organization with too many reporting layers. -> Managers are almost untouchable and your personal development and career is extremely limited (if not screwed up) when having a bad or inexperienced manager. Only option is trying to change org or leave Amazon entirely. -> Unclear performance review and evaluation. -> Too many uncompleted (not fully automated) projects resulting in lots of maintenance work and frustration.

Pros

good peer workers, casual dress code

Cons

-managers are not intelligent, but very stubborn+ not willing to communicate. They micromanage associates. They know nothing about real work, but just push associates to meet the goal. They always change policies, tell lies, trying to deceive associates to cover up their faults and mistakes. -Compared to other Korean large companies, Amazon perks are very poor. -when there is internal hiring or opportunity, only the ones favored by management are selected. Their performance/work ability do not matter much. If you are a "yes man," never questioning decisions, you will be okay. They will tell you to speak up and ask questions, but do not be fooled by their lies. They will not like you. -THIS IS A "CALL CENTER." -Inconsistent schedule, you need to be able to work on weekends and holidays.
