Working at Amazon in Seattle, WA: 227 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Seattle, WA Area

"Good company and good team."

"It's a good company for newly hired people. But for experienced people, all the build process and development is a pain, since there is nothing useful to learn in those extra efforts."

"Nice company, challenging and interesting work here"

"I have worked at Amazon since 2017. I started from the bottom packing boxes and worked my way up in the world of finance. I believe if you are determined you can go anywhere in this company, but the ask of you will be enormous."

"Pro : amazing teammates, good resource, exciting tech stack Con: Management is not transparent, bad work-life balance."

"The company culture is very dynamic and democratic. The only thing I don't like is the utterly confusing Apollo system that they use to install code on an ancient version of RedHat that is installed as a virtual device on your computer. It can sometimes be difficult getting permission to install software that you need to do your job, but it is nowhere near as bad as what Boeing does.."

"I have worked with Amazon.com for about a year now and find it as an exciting place to work."

"Your experience will be what you make of the opportunity. While working here I learned a lot and expanded my professional horizons."

"Great experience. I learned so much."

"I like the company very much."

"It was a short term contract with limited opportunity. I feel any contractual position should be of at least 6 months."

"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."

"I've worked for Amazon since 2018, specializing in demand forecasting. I love the Amazon environment that encourages people to move fast and bias for action."

"I worked for Amazon for almost 9 years if you add the 2 contract positions I had prior to be hired as a regular employee for 7 years. They are a great company though the balance of work and personal life is skewed heavily in favor of work."
