Pluspunten

Pay is the best around; stock options are a nice perk Your coworkers are some of the smartest and most talented people in the industry; you will learn quite a bit from smart people

Minpunten

Senior management (particularly in Minneapolis) is awful. They will pit you against your coworkers. Prepare to be in a continual depressive state after your third month of working there. Nobody cares about you or your personal growth there. You have to be the person in charge. Any "trainings" or "conferences" are done on your own dime and managers will see all personal growth as time you could have spent doing work for them. Work life balance is poor if your manager decides they don't like you; it's always arbitrary. Amazon pretends to be a "data driven" company, but it's all political and managers *will* manipulate data however they see fit. I know some people whose managers like them that do little to no work and have found the gravy train. Good luck if that's you! They are having attrition problems because they are driving many people out. Presumably because Amazon is cutting a significant part of its workforce! Sooner or later that will hit you.

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.
