Amazon

There are great tools and technologies. There are no boundations over learning and developing new ideas.

Old Amazon values are gone now. They already hired toxic people who reached at upper levels.

Toxicity seems to be increasing within Amazon, particularly in the Data Engineering team in Gurgaon. There appears to be significant favouritism at the L5 and L6 levels, creating an environment where fair evaluation and equal opportunities are questionable.

New hires often seem to be brought in to support or protect existing employees, rather than being evaluated objectively on their own merits. They are then compared against experienced team members based on internal business knowledge that takes time to acquire. This creates an unfair situation in which new employees are judged negatively for not already knowing systems, processes, and business context that they have not yet had sufficient time to learn.

Instead of fostering collaboration, providing proper onboarding, and evaluating people based on their actual skills and performance, this approach can undermine employee confidence, damage team morale, and create a toxic work environment.

Save Amazon culture! Remove favouritism.
