Pros

Working at Amazon is an overall great experience. All your colleagues are kind, knowledgeable and helpful. You are invited to share your knowledge, no one is left behind. We all share a common goal which is to provide customer with the best experience. In doing so you are everyday challenged with new opportunities to learn, grow and add value to the company. The tools that you'll you are the most advanced, you're always at the forefront of innovation. The atmosphere is sparkling. The culture is super-inclusive, the salaries are competitive, the premises are amazing, benefits are very interesting and the opportunities to grow both on a professional and a personal level are endless.

Cons

Some processes are peculiar, which to be clear is not a disadvantage it is something you have to be aware of. The interviews are solely based on the Amazon Leadership Principles. It may looks strange and it is a very stressful test. Yet, in this way the company makes sure to hire and develop the best. If you approach Amazon peculiarities with the right mindset you will find them beneficial for your brain agility. Being a worldwide organization, it is sometimes required (but never ordered) to take part to meeting at hours outside your working hours. However it is allowed to compensate such extra hours with some flexibility on the rest of the day/week.
