Pluspunten
Amazon affords many benefits—pay, stock, generous PTO and maternity/paternity, parking allowances and transit passes—but the most exciting benefit is less tangible: the opportunity to grow and learn in one of the most innovative companies on the planet. At Amazon, you're working with amazingly talented people who constantly challenge your assumptions. The mandate to create well-written narrative documents when proposing an idea to leadership means that you're under pressure to think through your ideas and find a way to crystallize them. The result is that each product and service receives significant scrutiny long before resources are invested.
Minpunten
Amazon feels a bit like a bunch of small startups conglomerated into a large entity, and as a result, there's often ambiguity in the job. No on is going to tell you what to do—you have to figure it out. For some, that's a benefit, but it can also be daunting at times.
