Good compensation, very demanding
Good compensation, very demanding
- Good compensation
- Interesting projects
- Competent people
- Really about the customer.
In terms of compensation, I never felt under-compensated. Projects were generally interesting, and the people I worked with were generally very competent.
You get the impression people really care about the customer. It's refreshing, and somewhat mitigates the amount the company pushes you.
- Always demand a lot
- Bad - terrible work/life balance
- Few additional benefits
Amazon will always demand a lot from you, not just your managers but your peers as well. Faltering is something that will tend to be noticed.
Finding ways to better work-life balance and giving employees more feedback have both been issues in my time at Amazon.
