Your experience is determined by your leaders
Software Development Manager • Former Employee
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
January 29, 2020
Pros: Amazing company with great values that are continually promoted and followed.
Cons: Every team is free to operate as it feels can best provide value, meaning your experience at Amazon is completely based on your local leadership. Bad leaders equal bad experience.
2.0
Culture is bad
Software Development Manager • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
September 7, 2023
Pros: High competitive salary, high brand value.
Cons: Stressful job, too much competition to survive. There's always pressure to get things done, delivered faster, and to raise the level. There is always someone in the team who will be on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) based on leadership push.
3.0
Unique culture works, but comes at a high price to employees
Software Development Manager • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 28, 2021
Pros: Working with great people on hard problems is great.
Some of the employee perks, like the company shuttle, are great.
Cons: Performance management culture is needlessly brutal. Managing out people to meet quotas became a thing.
As a culture, there's no credit for managing up people and ensuring they're performing. Somebody needs to be thrown under the bus every year.
