Pluspunten

Amazon is an incredibly-fast moving company. My first week on the job, my boss promised me that no matter what, I would "never be bored" and 3.5 years in, that's held true. Working in the team responsible for installing new fulfillment centers (warehouses), I am given high responsibility of budgets of dozens of millions of dollars and high levels of autonomy. I have exposure to network-wide issues and have the opportunity to travel extensively domestically with occasional international assignments. The position has also been a huge learning source, and I feel like I am still learning something new every day.

Minpunten

The pace isn't for everyone, and specifically for my team, neither is the travel. Many people hear horror stories during "peak" - the busy holiday season - and while I've seldom been unhappy, I have worked 80/90+ hour weeks from time to time during our busy season. Again, this is the exception rather than the rule. My standard week is much more like 50-60 hours. People who are successful at Amazon also need to be flexible and adaptable - "the only constant is change," as I hear often. I can't speak to other groups or the corporate environment.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
