Pros and cons of working at Amazon Australia and New Zealand
Pros
The people and the culture by far. The work was meaningful and impactful, which made it interesting and enjoyable. The office, with snacks and drinks is also something I miss daily.
Usually interesting projects/work to be done; lots of smart and friendly people, so it's easier to learn from your surroundings.
Diverse culture, good compensation, ownership over projects.
Sense of ownership and people’s willingness to help.
The work (experience and salary) - Working with peers - Free snacks + Drinks, lots of nice places to eat nearby.
Cons
Very fast-paced and sometimes stressful. Sometimes difficult to fit into some social situations.
Mandatory on-call shifts where you may be paged outside of office hours to help fix an issue (does not apply to interns or new joiners immediately).
Mandatory 5 days in office.
Amazon is great. It's hard to come up with many negatives. I think the RTO mandate can be seen as a negative. I also wish they had ongoing opportunities (e.g. part-time work) for students.
Soft cap for promotion. Can't really stay here once you get to senior if you want to keep progressing
