Pros

So far so good. Amazon in Ruskin, FL is a new concept compared to others.

Cons

Night shift pay rate is $1.00 more and hour if working nights and weekends and day shift gets nothing. I feel this is unfair because day shift is giving up their weekends also. We should get .50 more. I work Friday to Monday.

Pros

- several businesses are industry-leading and will continue to do well (Amazon retail, AWS, Kindle) - internal developer tools and expertise is still a great asset

Cons

- increase in management levels, degrading talent, and churn is leading to a slower company with poorer quality products - hiring bar getting lower; best employees are leaving since there is nothing particularly attractive to retain them - mediocre pay and benefits relative to an overall tech industry that pays very generously - stock at current price has limited upside compared to industry

Pros

Pay, incentives, restricted stock units

Cons

Work long hours that makes the salary not worth it (FYI - I didn’t think that the 14-16 hour days could be true, but they are!) difficult process of systematic discussions and write ups to terminate bad employees, cut-throat management competition where managers work against each other to advance rather than working together as a team
