Cons

Poor Management

Biased managers, who cannot make their own decisions. Lay off people without referrals and not based on performance. Do not follow its own leadership principles. Higher management is completely unaware of politics in their org. No real learning opportunities. 401k not competitive enough.


The Devices org does not know what they are doing anymore. Management is lousy. Too much politics in the Devices org, especially any part of the Alexa Auto team. Laid off employees that did not have any referrals and only kept people who had strong referrals. Managers don't make their own decisions and listen to what team members tell them to do. Really regret joining this org!

Advice to Management

Advice for higher management to take a closer look at the ongoing politics downstream and biased attitude of middle-level managers.
