You will thrive here if you can handle the pressure
- A lot of opportunities to learn. Everyone at Amazon raises the bar for you. You learn a lot from code review, design review, etc.
- The pay is very good.
- The path for promotion is mostly not affected by human biases, but rather by your actual performance.
-
Highly competitive environment and flexible, but long working hours. This is not the place for you if you can't handle the stress.
-
If you are not promoted or there is no re-negotiation of your salary within a certain period, you will feel stagnation in financial growth.
-
Although the standards for promotions are high and mostly unbiased, it does sometimes depend on whether your manager is on their own promotion path.
