  4. Frugality in everything.

  5. No consideration for employees.

  6. Meaningless leadership principles.

  7. Favoritism.

  8. No fixed roadmap (at least this was the case with our team).

  9. Any lateral employee will find the Amazon work culture a little harsh on employees.

  10. Weekends are usually spent just preparing for the hectic weekdays.
