Pros

Good salary. That's all. But you need to sacrifice many other things at the cost of that.

Cons

I wonder how so many people have given such good ratings. Yes, if work is the only thing in your life, this may be the place for you.

Quality of work is extremely bad. It's all about coordinating with other teams and getting things done. You will hardly get to use your creativity.

There is panic and chaos all around. No office culture. People shouting, listening to music at high volumes.

Situations at Chennai are even worse. Very bad facilities. A non-ethical place.

People just come here for a brand name and start contemplating a change within a few months.

Freshers may still sustain. But it's extremely bad for people who have come from companies with decent work culture.

I have a long list of negatives. But I hope this much should be enough for prospective employees to make a decision.

Advice to Management

Amazon is growing very rapidly. But the culture is not sustainable in the long term. It needs a big change.
