Pros

Nice office facilities, flexible hours.

Cons

I've never seen so much bullying, backstabbing, politics, etc.

It was the most demoralizing, demotivating work environment I've experienced in 25 years.

We are meant to be a global team, but the teams in the Americas dominate, and we have to play the political games.

They have no work-life balance.

People steal each other's ideas, accuse people of horrible things, and HR brushes it off.

Also, recruiting is a nightmare, and resources in general are hard to find.

Turnover is extremely high; there is no continuity or loyalty since there is so much churn.

I'd been with my last company 10+ years and was planning to do the same at Amazon, but it is not the work environment I desire.
