Pros
  • Excellent challenging environment for those who seek it out.
  • So much to learn.
  • Great colleagues to learn from and look up to.
Cons
  • Work-life balance: Take it and throw it out the window.
  • Upper management is not in sync with the ground reality.
  • Huge turnover of employees, surprisingly even at the leadership level. The implications can be felt at the ground level because each new person comes and tries to do something new, completely uprooting and throwing out the previous work/project.
  • Numbers. Meaningless numbers. That’s all everyone cares about.
Advice to Management

Look at developing sustainable processes and solutions. For an organization as forward-thinking as Amazon, the mid-tier management is surprisingly short-sighted.

Look to drive value through work.
