Amazon.com

My observation being in Proserve (professional services arm of AWS) , technical and domain specialist needs to be good at selling, negotiation, building trust with customers. Very limited time for deep, focused, technical work. A lot of calls like usual consulting role. 

Feel like a freelancer/entrepreneur, need to market own skills and work well to survive. Hard to find support within the team as everyone is in many projects and different projects.  Uncoordinated, lack of structure.

Emphasis of sales numbers, deals closed, customer satisfaction score, hours billed. Pressure to perform even through client pipeline is not within control. 

Great for people who likes to talk to customers, sell Amazon style of innovation. Not good for people who wants focused work - building, engineering, creating. 

People move in and out the team quickly. High transfer and turnover. 

You have limitless career opportunities across roles, teams, entities, countries etc. You are empowered to innovate, build and take risks - all with very deep pockets - to solve problems for your customers. Everyone lives and breathes the Leadership Principles and has a huge focus on DEI. If you don't like ambiguous or ever-changing environments, Amazon isn't right for you. 

Amazon is more a "social experiment" than a workplace.
It is a "bludgers paradise" where lazy workers never get pulled up for it, and hard workers never appreciated or respected. Everybody gets a participation award regardless if they actually work or not.
The racial favouritism there is next level.  It's a bunch of kids running the place with no experience, masquerading as proffesionals who cannot handle when a worker with more experience than them calls them out on their inability to perform their role.

Amazon is a good company in terms of salary benefits and working  place.  There are team leaders that are good motivators others are not but then its your decidion or how you will manage. High standard when it comes to safety and employees  privileges. No 2 way fliw on the building, one way flow and just 2 persons on the elevator. Verygood equipments fast , no problem on the system, fast training all virtual.

Amazon seems like a great place. The work is good, and people say it's a positive environment. It looks like the company offers a lot of good opportunities and benefits. The job itself sounds good, and many people would probably enjoy working there. It’s clear that the experience is generally positive, and things run smoothly. Overall, it appears to be a good choice for anyone looking for solid work. From what I’ve seen, it’s a good company, and a lot of people seem to like it. Definitely a good place to consider!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Reverse descrimination abounds.  If you are an LGBT member or a minority you will have an opportunity to get promoted

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Huge presure to never stop working or never take a break

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very negative

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work non stop and take no breaks

Best Job Experience Ever!! Working in Amazon is like being a student. Everyday, you get to learn something new. Being one of the BIG4 internet companies, Amazon is working on a huge number of Projects. Name any technology and Amazon is definitely working on it! People can easily find teams working on their favorite technologies and ask for an internal transfer. This is one of the few companies where internal transfer is highly encouraged.

Little progression oppertunity unless you meet very high KPI, security team doesnt get much progression unless the site CEO manager likes you and the LP boss, if they dont like you, doesnt matter how good you are, you aint going anywhere, high staff turn over, many ops managers walk away because theu dont get heard, its a culture of toxicity burried under a dirty rug.

Working at Amazon has been a great learning experience. The environment is fast-paced, structured, and focused on results. I learned strong organisational skills, teamwork, and leadership. The management is supportive, and there are clear processes for everything. It’s a good place to grow professionally if you are motivated and disciplined.

Amazon is a good platfrom to develope  phemominal time management skills, not only that but also is a great place to adapt local culture and learn more about it. This space gives an opportunity to develop strong organisational, problem-solving & time-management skills with impeccable attention to detail.
