"Working at Amazon was a great experience for me. I'm grateful for the opportunity they've given me for all the years I've been there. I've learned and grown a lot there, the environment was also great. Good people with highly goal driven mentality. It was awesome being employed by such a great company but I chose to leave amazon to go back to school and become a Network Engineer"

"A huge company present on all continents. They use cutting edge equipment procured mostly from Cisco, Citrix, Juniper. They have a retail website network, a border network and a cloud computing network. They offer a lot of advantages to grow professionally and the pay is relatively amazing. Amazon functions on the base of a a 14 core values that they believe is customer-centric."

"I've worked here twice. It's an intense environment, but gives you a lot of ownership of your projects. My main complaint would be that you are treated like a number, I saw far too many people lose their jobs without advance notice as soon as the company decides to cut costs."

"The TRMS department at Amazon is not a place I have enjoyed or would recommend working at. There is little room for career advancement and the micromanagement is extreme."

"I have only worked for Amazon for short while. However, I have already experienced the good and the bad reputation of the company. There are lots of very smart people who work there, many of them being very ambitious. I think ambition may get the better of some of the employees as they sometimes resort to making themselves look better by making others look worse. Level of experience overall is quite low because of the high turnover."

"I worked for amazon as a risk investigator for 4 months, it was a wonderful experience as i got to learn how amazon tries to keep its activity so secure and safe. I saw the possible happenings of a credit card fraud and i was in MRI which stands for merchant risk investigations.Which prevents the seller from doing a fraud to the customers."

"The people were nice to work with, but I was grossly underpaid for the work I was doing, I found my manager difficult to approach, and because everyone else on my team was as green as I was it was difficult to get help. Lastly I was cut from my contract along with every other contractor on my team with only a weeks warning, which I might add was less than I was required to give them in the case that I wanted to leave."

"Amazon has strong vision for future consumer business. Employees at Amazon are very competitive and may be tough for new mom due to lack of work-life balance. If you are willing to spend many hours, you will be successful."
