Young inexperienced people managers, long hours working, document writing the whole time - Product Manager Amazon Employee Review

Pros

It’s nice to have on your curriculum and you can learn a lot about experiments to make customers happy. People are friendly and supportive of each other but always tired from unstoppable meetings.

Cons

You need to write a document for every idea you may have or project you work for. If you have a young manager, she/he will correct your docs many times until you can submit it to the management, behaving like a school teacher instead of a team player. Everything is manual and you need to learn many tools to do things by yourself, spending hours on these instead of innovate. Lot of internal reporting and bureaucracy, with everyone working longer than 10/12 hours per day and exhausted.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
