"This is a great place to work, but it can be difficult to move up."

"Amazon is a great workplace for learning and also provides a work-life balance. I must recommend joining the organization, to those who all are willing to join."

"I interned at Amazon and now I am in my second year at Darden. My internship experience was amazing, learned a lot from the 10 weeks I spent at Amazon"

"I worked for Amazona as a software development intern. My role provided me with an opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment. My project was to develop an application from scratch using a fairly new technology."

"Amazon gave me the opportunity to learn and grow. IT was challenging at the same time, just the massive scale of operations in amazon is amazing."

"Amazon is a good company, that provides great benefits and room to advance in the company. One negative aspect I've seen is the rampant changes in supervisors. I was employed under a six month contract and had four new supervisors. It made me wonder if their workload was too much, or did they simply advance in the company. The supervisor's were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to assist."

"Good Company, beautiful architecture and a good compensation structure. Never had a bad experience with the salary payment on time, never had a bad experience with the server or the punch card. "You must try it out to experience yourself""

"I worked at Amazon until July 2018. Where I was able to impact recruiting in an internal space and help to drive promotions and expansions of our Operations network."

"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've worked in Amazon since 2018 as an SDE. As a fast-paced company, Amazon brings lots of challenges to SDEs, but these challenges help engineers grow. Also, there are many brilliant colleagues and abundant resources you can learn from. I will recommend Amazon as the head starts in your career."

"I've worked with Amazon for over 2.5 years, and overall the company is a wonderful company to work for. I have only two negative things to say: work/life balance is extremely poor compared to other companies I've worked for, and compensation is much less than equivalent roles I've had in other companies."

"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."

"Great company to work for if you want to learn and develop your skills."

"My Amazon experience was interesting."

"I have tremendous respect for Jeff Bezos; Seattle was not for me and I missed California."
