Avantages
It is a big company with amazing brand recognition. The company is doing very well; not said about many companies in these hard economic times. If you truly enjoy working very hard and put most of your energy into your work this is a great place to work. There are no nine to five jobs at amazon. It is a great place to work if you are truly committed to self-development-don't expect the company to teach you how to do your job. You will be surrounded by people who are bright and future focused...there isn't time to get caught up in the past.
Inconvénients
Work/Life Balance is of no importance to the leadership. The company doesn't implement any programs to allow the people working there to feel respected or valued. Compensation: Your first two years with the company are the most financially rewarding...if you accept a job be sure to determine where you are in the payscale. Chances are you may have been placed at the top of the pay range, which will ultimately lead to a very small increase to your base wage. Development: Regardless of your position, your development must be owned by you. The company offers very little opportunity to develop your skills. The value placed on education is very high.
