Great to learn, easy to burn out
Great to learn, easy to burn out
Lots to learn, good in-level growth (but promotions can be more challenging), interesting work, great scale and impact. Good compensation if the stock goes up. Six weeks parental leave.
Amazon demands a lot from its employees.
Managers work easily 50-60+ hours per week over a long time (6+ months or some permanently).
There is a lot of burnout and overworked managers.
Health benefits are not good (look into the details!).
A burned-out manager makes wrong decisions. Less pressure on managers will lead to higher-quality teams.
