Pros

Can learn a lot from colleagues if you are motivated.

Cons

Zero transparency consistency with internal promotion.... salary way below market rates... best talent leaves on a consistent basis. Staff chain-smoking outside with bags under their eyes and pager bleeping on a Friday evening...

Pros

Good salary to lure you as an Ops Manager. Not much else positive to say really.....

Cons

The culture that is described to you is one that focuses on people. This could not be further from the truth as fear mongering and bullying tactics are used regularly to threaten associates and managers. Amazon, in my experience, has not lived up to any one of their "leadership principles". Very closed minded organization.

Pros

Resume builder and compensation package

Cons

Please believe everything you see on Glassdoor about how awful Amazon is as an employer. I read those same reviews, and thought, I can work anywhere for 4 years. You will be treated like a number and nothing more. Push this button; fill in that spreadsheet. And, yes, I wrote spreadsheet. For a tech company, it is shocking how heavily their recruitment teams rely on spreadsheets. That alone should be a warning sign about how much (or little) respect recruiters are given. For a company that prides it's self on having "smart" employees, I reported to some of the worst managers in my entire career. All they taught me was how to kiss-up, lie, blame others, and cheat the numbers. In sum, stay away if you can. But, if you must give it a try, absolutely avoid the university programs recruiting team (tech, non-tech, MBA) and aim for an industry recruiting role.
