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
