      Working at Amazon is the exact opposite of being a customer to Amazon

      Pros

      Overall Amazon pays well once you have been there for a few years. They do provide you with a bus pass and I've met some great people there.

      Cons

      Overall the work life balance is horrible. If you have a family and/or kids, you are looked down on if you leave at a normal hour to be with them. There soft benefits are almost non existent and the way they do their review process makes people put each other down. They only focus on what is wrong and what they don't like about your work. There is no celebrating the wins.

      Opportunity like nowhere else

      Pros

      Great place to get things done and grow your resume. You are working with really smart people and have access to a lot of enablers. The culture here enshrines "bias for action" which is your license to cut through the red tape when it gets in the way.

      Cons

      Low titles, lack of performance pay. The appearance of frugality is valued beyond its business benefit. This can make you feel less valued regardless of your salary. Stack ranking encourages people to play the system rather than do the right thing. Negotiate hard before you arrive.

      You are just a number

      Pros

      You are not unemployed (even if at times you wish you were) and you can meet people from all over Europe. I cannot think to anything else, really.

      Cons

      The managers are just incompetent. You as an individual have no value, they do not care if you have a life outside the office, I would almost say that they would like you not to have a life. If you refuse to do overtime you do not understand business needs, and in the last quarter of the year overtime became mandatory. They can change your schedule at any time, so you cannot do any plan, and can in this way make you skip your days off and you will not will be given them back. The training is just ridiculous, you are expected to know things that nobody explained to you, and most of the managers have no idea what is your job about. Work for this company is what is closer to slavery you can find in the Western World.
