Amazon

1. Only a decent salary and the “Amazon employee tag” to show off in front of society as if you are a great achiever.
2. Zero stress, as it is a menial job.
3. Once done with 8 hours, you shut your laptop (not even a minute more).

Cons There are many:

1. You never know when your shift timings will change. I can confidently tell even the security persons have fixed shifts at least for a few months. But we do not have that confidence. The excuse we get is a business requirement. You cannot plan your life at all.

2. I feel a customer executive employee develops better skills than here. The skills you learn here are nothing. You can never use this experience to get a better job (unless you are lying about LMAQ). So, to shift your job, you need to learn new skills for sure.

3. All employees’ priorities turn out to taking pictures at the workplace, free coffee/tea/Horlicks/Boost, overtime, shift allowance, and not their career growth.

4. You are surrounded by bummers who talk continuous nonsense, which leads us nowhere in life. In some cases, these bummers happen to be our managers, which proves the fact that you need not be an intellectual to be a manager in LMAQ.

5. Some people who want to sound posh use all their spoken English class talent here. (Note: English gives you good sentences but does not earn respect).

6. The managers literally cry to approve leaves which are allotted to us as per company policy. They use idiotic excuses to decline leaves.

7. Managers throw in nonsense ideas in the name of performance improvement. They think they are motivating us, but the fact is that they are irritating us.

8. Listening to management words, I feel like I am in LKG. The management repeats the same nonsense like silly jokes, LAMO behaviour, unending pleasantries, and unnecessary workplace etiquette.

9. All they care for is how many cases you have done in the end. If you do less, they will torture you to do more. If you do more, they want you to do more. Finally, when everyone does more, they push the benchmark of cases, thus telling us to do more. This rat race cycle repeats until infinity.

10. Here I even see people from other states, proving that unemployment is a serious concern in India and there is nothing wrong with the problem of brain drain in India.

11. Doing this job makes me feel like I am zero. I have learned/worked more to pass my 10th grade than doing this job. Some of my colleagues are MTech, MBA, and MCA people. Whenever I think of them, I feel that quitting the job as being in my comfort zone is the biggest sin I can make.

12. We get regular surveys about how we feel about the job. If we answer the survey truly, our great managers torture us to give better survey scores for them. So, no matter what the situation you are in, you have to give positive reviews that the management is outstanding.

13. In case you ask to resolve any query, all you get in return is some stupid logic or some soothing words in return. No real improvement at all.

14. The team meeting moves with a hell of “spoken English conversation starters” like:

• Hi
• How are you doing?
• How was your weekend?
• Do you have any concerns?
• Some silly jokes, etc., rather than making any good contribution to our lives. These meetings just only happen as per management rules to conduct team meetings and not to make our lives better.

1. You have done your engineering and are working on the same level as BCom, B.Sc., and BBA fellows. This makes you feel, “What the heck am I doing here? I should have joined somewhere else.” The conversations these degree fellows throw at you will only make you fight for mediocrity in life and be happy at the end of the day as you had a mediocre conversation and killed the time of your day without feeling any guilt.

2. This job is perfect for those who want a job for their namesake and get some money to fulfil their “PART CULTURE FANTASIES” and temporary money requirements, and who want to spend their life with no urge to learn something in life. If you are not good at anything, LMAQ is your dream job as this ensures to pass your life without thinking of anything else in life other than weekends/leaves.

3. In some teams the managers are good. But my team managers made their life goal to torture us in all ways possible. (The stupid team I belong to: Geocoding IQT team of Hyderabad).

4. All the jokes made about engineers on social media that “being an engineer is good for nothing.” This team is filled with all those engineers.

1. Please change the job description as it doesn’t suit the work profile we are working on. You people are fooling us by giving a job description that sounds very good while applying and is worse while working.

2. To my shock, some of the L5 and L6 managers are IIM and ISB fellows. Kudos on your management skills. Looking at them, I feel good about all people who could not get admission in IIMs.

3. After more than a year of working, all I could do was blame God. The moment I get a chance, I will move to some meaningful job that at least involves using my brain.
