Pros

Excellent training, and my corner of AWS understands work-life balance. I've only been here for a couple of months, but it's going well.

Normally at a big company, you've run into all kinds of red flags by now. Amazon actually believes in and follows its Leadership Principles, and they apply to everyone. This seems like a great way to run a company.

Cons

I'm still not convinced "Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer" is being applied to the warehouse side of the business.

Joining a big company of this age exposes you to a fire hose of information; it's a lot to take in!

Advice to Management

Even if Amazon treats its warehouse employees better than everyone else, we have a perception issue due to our scale.

Compensation is great, benefits (in Canada) are "meh"—basically what every other company offers in tech. At our scale, we should do better.

Every employee should get a free Prime membership.
