Amazon Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Excellent customer well employee focused organization."

"Amazon Pay is an incredible organization with a great team that is equipped to help anyone who comes aboard succeed!"

"More room for improvement. Hires the best and when hired you need to work very hard to raise the bar. No clear path laid out for promotion and how to develop. Employees are sometimes over worked."

"A Very Good place to work it is more fun inside in the environment. Lots of stuff and prices they will give you during peak season. Also lots of sign up schedule to work if you want to earn more extra income. It is also a fast paced and comfortable place to work. It's a pretty easy working process while working with great associates. Amazon also cares more about our safety then anything."

"Friendly environment with a lot of flexibility on the task you had to do and they also provided good benefits"

"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."

"Expectations are high so expect to work every minute. Breaks and lunches are good if you can find a table to eat at in the break room. Extremely physical and nonstop work. I was always dehydrated. Managers want numbers and are not interested in safety."

"I've worked at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, WA for 5 years. I've had the opportunity to work for really smart people, a lot of opportunity for career growth, and I'm always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. The culture is quick and hard charging. You are always working in relevant and meaningful projects. There are really well run teams and very badly run teams. The experience for most employees is all over the board, from really run low operational load teams to teams where people burn out after a year. Amazon is built, quite deliberately, to be Darwinian. The strong survive and the weak perish (metaphorically speaking) and the 'bar' is constantly increasing. The level of performance that would have been acceptable five years ago will get you canned today. It's a kind of crucible that'll help you develop a harder edge, if you can survive, that can serve you well in your career and in life, but it's often not a pleasant experience. Work/life balance is extremely difficult to find. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to work for just anyone. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies."

"I've worked in the Amazon fulfillment center since 2017. The better you perform, the more chances you have in growing as an associate. The limitation on restroom usage is a bit of an issue, but other than that it is a good experience. You are able to apply as a manager even without a degree after working for over 2 years (which they count as equivalent to an undergrad degree) and apply internally."

"I've worked for Amazon Digital Goods. The team is innovative and engaging. There were a lot of transitions going on and I decided I would like to develop my programming skills in a different direction. I respect this company and the work I have done, I just needed to take a different path."
