"I've worked with Amazon for the last 2 years and they've treated me well. I've built great relationships with my coworkers and other people throughout the company. The job is low stress for 80% of the time because you can take personal control of your workflow. The compensation has been good."

"I have worked for Amazon since May 2013. Like any large company it has its quirks, but the leadership is innovative and the opportunities are great."

"Amazon is a great company to work for. That being said, due to its entrepreneurial culture, not everyone fits the mold. In fact, most middle managers simply do not know how to motivate in a fast-paced environment to take advantage of the lack of bureaucracy. Amazon's problem is middle management. A lot of simple minded, obtuse and inexperienced middle managers that simply do not belong. However, senior management and entry level talent is remarkable, and the company will continue to innovate."

"I loved this place. I made many friends."

"I enjoy my work and would like better work personal life balance. :)"

"Amazon was everything I had ever dreamed of as a hobbyist who found his way into the big-time. It was a slice of pie and dreams that I had always wished for in a job; until I was dropped like a rock. Washington is an at-will state for employees but, I had absolutely no indication that I was to be terminated and I was told over the phone by my recruiter versus my boss. To say the least, I am very sad that they let me go because I was contributing a lot of changes to our main code branch."

"Good. I learnt a lot and made a lot of friends. I'm in demand now."

"It's a good place to work and learn. I learnt a lot. I'm experienced and highly in demand."

"I find Amazon to be a strong company to be apart of. As an intern, I was given the opportunity of ownership and responsibility equal to my peers. Although a very large company, they embodied a start up mentality and allowed room for self expression. If given the opportunity, I would recommend the experience."

"I have been with Amazon for almost 2 years. It is a great, fast paced company where you can definitely make your own decisions and affect change. It is also a place where it is difficult to manage your work life balance."

"I worked for Amazon as an intern during the summer of 2013. Amazon cares for their employees and has a productive work environment.Depending on the team, the hours can be overwhelming. However, as long as work is getting done, the environment is friendly and relaxed."
