Pros
  1. Amazing learning pace from day 1. You literally hit the ground running.
  2. Great colleagues.
  3. Very few companies of Amazon's stature.
Cons
  1. Not for everyone: the environment, the pace, the pressure.
  2. Leave ASAP if you develop health issues.
  3. Asked to 'do it yourself' from the beginning. It would have been better if some training were given to reduce ramp-up time.
Advice to Management
  1. Lacking in processes - very chaotic from day 1. Repeat issues need to be formally documented for future use.

  2. Improve office space and environment - very dry and tightly packed.
