Amazon

I had a good signing bonus.

I was systematically mistreated by a “mafia” of Indian managers, who formed a collusive stack of incompetence and strategic malevolence. Most managers I met were browbeating “bar raisers” who sat atop a broad base of demotivated engineers. Amazon is a terrible company to work for as an engineer, and they will throw you away without mercy while Jeff Bezos makes another billion dollars per minute. If you complain about the pro-Indian racism, HR will look the other way, and then your manager will start lying about your job performance. Even the manager I joined Amazon to work for quit after my second week because, as a white man in a racist Indian sweatshop called “Alexa,” he knew his career was going nowhere. I should have quit then also, but I had a belief in my duty. Amazon monopolizes people, and they’ve fallen prey to the horizontal scaling mythos of exploiting the H1B visa.

There’s nothing I can tell you that you don’t already know but are too entitled and incompetent to change. Overall, you should become more developer-friendly because your technology is terrible and laden with “big brother” corporate tech. Your developers are a demotivated mass in a racist company with all white men on top.
