Pros

The pay was most definitely a plus especially in this hard of times. The only other thing that was at all positive were the people that worked there.

Cons

I normally never write reviews for anything, especially jobs, but this is required. Amazon does not care about any individual employee, they act like they do to your face, until all of a sudden 30 people are all 'terminated' at once, for no reason whatsoever. People who had worked there for 15 years sometimes longer and some who started from the ground up with them and worked there for a year to three years. They just let you go with no word or explanation, they are outsourcing all of their jobs, so why did they need to build a new building? Because they are selfish. I refuse to even buy anything from the site anymore because of how I was treated as an employee and after I was treated after I was 'terminated'. They do not deserve the praise that they get, and they sure do not deserve the business they get. From working behind the scenes I know, without a shadow of a doubt that they do everything for themselves and nothing for the customer. Customer's were so unhappy about things but they just did not care, and still don't. Everyone currently working there or thinking about working there need to watch out, they are next, for no reason at all they will be left without a job, with bills to pay for and no money. Run far far away from Amazon!!!

Pros

Benefits growing and ability to transfer

Cons

Some of the building use HRBP's as HR Managers and some are not qualified to be in charge let the power go to their head. Then the company loses a lot of good management because it. All buildings should have all levels of HR Management.

Pros

Opportunity to learn and practice various disciplines of Software development, project management and support. Attention to detail and making decisions based on data. Often you are pushed out of your comfort zone and when you come out of it you have learned something new and valuable.

Cons

To be successful or even to survive you have to work 'really' hard - that involves working a lot of extra hours. The benefits aren't very generous under the banner of staying frugal. Rewarding isn't imminent. You work hard, earn a few stocks that you can touch only after 2 years. So to reap the benefits of your last year's work, you have to work hard for another 2 years. Promotions happen if you work at your next level's capacity on your current level for a long time without giving up. And finally when you reach the next level, the expectations are even higher. If you don't meet them you are back to your old level.
