Amazon Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Amazon.com has a very competitive atmosphere for management which can cause for a tense work environment at times. A lot of room for upward movement but there is a lot of pressure to exceed the demand of management. Deadlines don't exist because everything needs to get done yesterday. If you can't produce you don't have much time to recover because they will put you on the chopping block quick. If you can produce, consistently, then this is the place for you."

"I worked at Amazon in fall 2013. I had an amazing experience."

"Great company overall, but limited growth potential in a satellite office."

"Amazon is a great company to work for. That being said, due to its entrepreneurial culture, not everyone fits the mold. In fact, most middle managers simply do not know how to motivate in a fast-paced environment to take advantage of the lack of bureaucracy. Amazon's problem is middle management. A lot of simple minded, obtuse and inexperienced middle managers that simply do not belong. However, senior management and entry level talent is remarkable, and the company will continue to innovate."

"I enjoy my work and would like better work personal life balance. :)"

"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 enjoyed working at Amazon immensely. I was working with a friend and we did interesting work together that I was uniquely suited for. Given the chance I'd work with her and the company again."

"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.."

"Amazon has matured from just online retailer to a company who has some products very positively accepted by its customers. Company mostly cares for Dev's, not that much for others."
