Pros

All ICs are great. But nothing else.

Cons

Less salary compared to the market, plus low stock price values, which degrade our total compensation.

S-team and management are cunning. They are trying to implement Return to Office in a manner that forces employees to resign, so Amazon doesn't have to pay severances.

The HR and recruitment team will try to sell the position, stating that Amazon is a data-driven company, but in reality, Amazon is not at all data-driven.

Directors are forcing decisions without any data and solely based on their own perception. Directors and all upper management are dictators and make arbitrary decisions.

Company culture is definitely not a Day-1 culture anymore post-COVID. They just react to situations randomly rather than plan and think big.

They don't adhere to their own leadership principles like 'Think Big' and 'Strive to Become Earth's Best Employer'. Rather, they try to force decisions and ask employees to disagree and commit on anything, which feels like a dictatorship culture instead of a team culture.

Advice to Management

Try to read their own leadership principles and understand them, then implement them rather than being dictators. I would have given a 0 rating if I could.
