Great Teams, Toxic Culture
Great Teams, Toxic Culture
The possibility of moving to different teams and transitioning easily is what makes Amazon a long-term place to work.
Each org feels like a different company altogether. The career progression and mentoring are greatly valued.
Some teams are good, and then some teams are bad, but the overall culture at Amazon is not structured to be constructive and weed out the bad environments.
Value the feedback from team members more to hear the voice of individuals. Connections aren't being taken seriously in some organizations, which leads to toxic culture and behavior enablers.
