People often mention that life at Amazon is stressful, with on-call loads, work-life balance issues, etc. Trust me, that's all wrong. I've been at Amazon for close to 5 years now, and I really enjoy working here.
I am motivated every day to go to work and solve some truly complex issues related to business or tech. What keeps me motivated are the peers, team, and senior leaders that you work with. Amazon has the best workforce at all levels, and you get to learn a lot from them to become successful in your career.
Amazon takes care of work-life balance, offers many employee benefits, and has the best work culture. When I joined Amazon almost 5 years back, I had heard similar things about slogging and work-life balance, but it all turned out to be wrong. I am happy that I took the right decision then and didn't go with the rumors I had heard.
Politics at a higher level, and that's part of every other company.
