Amazon is a terrible contractor, surprising no one
Amazon is a terrible contractor, surprising no one
The pay was higher than most jobs I've been to, but it's not exactly great.
Absolutely crazy metrics. 99.33% accuracy and 12 seconds to respond to each job. Even the slightest mistake got you in trouble with your supervisors; it was a humiliating nightmare. They also shared all of your scores publicly to put on more pressure.
The benefits weren't nearly as good as explained, and they were planning on firing me only a few months in. They use you and boot you off when they no longer need you.
They call their employees "Amazonians," which is a derogatory slang term towards the indigenous residents of the Amazon rainforest, for a company with no relation to Brazil. Never work at Amazon, at any position, unless you want to be treated like a robot.
I wouldn't have quit unless the metrics were bearable. 95% accuracy and ~20 speed would've been tolerable. But 99.33% and 12 seconds was impossible.

I started the process in January, was referred, and then took the English test in May. It's not difficult, but you need to have at least the basics and a good headset. Now I'm waiting for the interview with the recruiters.
