Pros

Cash compensation for two years. No other benefits.

You will not get your stocks vested like other companies. They vest super late. The effective real compensation is lower than projected.

Cons

I am surprised to see a high rating for Amazon on Glassdoor. Please go to teamblind/Blind app to read the most helpful voted reviews of Amazon, and you will know what the exact experience is for those in individual contributor roles like Program Manager, Engineer, BA, etc.

Advice to Management

Please stay in Amazon so you do not pollute other companies.
