Pros
  • Lots to learn.
  • Teammates are willing to help.
  • Customer before profits culture.
  • Do things right, a strong culture with good balance.
  • When to take shortcuts when reasonable.
  • Flexible work-life balance compatible with compensation.
Cons
  • "Amazonian" jargon is embedded into employees' day-to-day, and they don't realize it. So it's hard to catch up if you haven't already experienced professionally.
  • Onboarding trainings are too generic (still very specific to Amazon) but don't train specifically to the team's reality.
Advice to Management

Keep up the good work.
