Pros

Been with Amazon for over 5 years now.

I enjoy my work, get to engage with multiple stakeholders.

Lots to learn and deliver. Keeps me on my toes.

Cons

I haven't worked for too many companies in the last 13 years; Amazon is my second company.

Being a workaholic, I take it as a challenge. But sometimes the goals are unreal and impact my personal work-life balance.

Lots is driven by getting a good manager who can guide you and stand up for you. It's also org-driven, and the tone the L8 sets for the org.

Advice to Management

The promotion process is opaque and complex. This should be made simpler. Introduce more levels: L4a, L4b, L5a, L5b, L6a, L6b. RTO, it's not working.
