Amazon

First-year pay, with bonus, looks great.

Please don't fall into the trap of HR who says that Amazon on your resume is highly valued and you will be promoted in a quarter or six months (which is completely false).

There is too much work that we can't even move out of our desks even on weekends, nights, and holidays.

Micro-management is prevalent.

Forget about promotions for at least 2 to 3 years, and there's no guarantee even after that time.

There are too many approvals needed to get a promotion, even from L3 to L4 or from L4 to L5.

Employees do have a personal life apart from work.

To gain a promotion, an employee doesn't need to work on holidays and on weekends or for extended hours.

The amount of work should be reduced, and complex processes should be avoided to promote.
