Amazon Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I interned with Amazon over the summer. It was a great experience."

"A lot of companies will say they are fast-paced, but that is a truly accurate assessment of Amazon. You will be expected to turn around a staggering amount of work in a short amount of time. This makes for a poor work-life balance environment."

"The job and the compensation is not what was discussed during the interview process. The flexibility promised when intial talks were made are not what they seem nor is the scheduling. The ability to move up and beyond has been blocked along the way. Transportation is paid for though!"

"I have worked in Amazon.com during one year, I started working here to try to get the right position for me as new resident in USA, having an SDE background, but I think it can take longer. Amazon.com is an excellent company to work at, good benefits, I recommend this company."

"Great company, love the people, everyone is very friendly."

"It's been a mixed experience, there are lots of good and bads, as all companies. The cons mainly are around the work life balance and hence appreciation for extra efforts that you put. Amazon lacks that value system."

"I've worked in Amazon since last year. Here I learn a lot of technical terms, which is very important for me."

"It's a very nice place to work as an intern. Great collaboration with colleagues. Highly challenging and vibrant environment to work."

"I worked for Amazon AWS during 2013 Summer. It was not a great experience."

"Amazon uses a lot of custom tools to do even the most basic IT job. In that respect if you are a skilled IT person, beware, you will be unchallenged and do very little learning. The pay is competitive if you don't live in California, or near any big cities for IT. Unfortunately that is not the case and the turnover rate in IT shows this, and there appears to be no effort on Amazon's part to correct this issue. They seem content to have a revolving door of technicians."

"Amazon provides a lot of security but as a big company has a lot of policy and logistics in place that can hinder creativity and career growth. Other than process hindering career growth I am extremely happy here."

"I interned there so can't say much about the company, but it's a good place to get some work experience as a UG student."

"There is often mismanagement of all resources. It often feels like there is no improvement or you constantly are redoing the same work."

"The company is good. The actual work sucks. It's still just a basic warehouse... and you can't expect to do anything if you don't have a degree."

"Read the internet about the HR policy before going to this place. If you like Perl, Mason and old stuff that's for you."
