Great Image, Harsh Culture
Great Image, Harsh Culture
The only pros are image and salary (for Indians).
I worked at Amazon for just about 9 months. I did everything I could and still got laid off. I was a top performer. Even my manager and senior manager were shocked and had no knowledge of this.
The work environment at Amazon is a "do it yourself" culture with zero help. Hence, a new person struggles a lot. Even after giving your all, you get laid off.
In my opinion, try joining any other company with the same or a lesser package which provides a good work environment and a piece of mind. The environment at Amazon is harsh. You will always have to put in extra hours and get zero respect.
Too harsh an environment, no concept of work-life balance.
