Toxic Culture: PIPing to pressurize engineers
Toxic Culture: PIPing to pressurize engineers
Pay and international work opportunities to change teams
Toxic culture:
- No work-life balance.
- Managers have a PIP quota and deliberately target engineers for PIP.
- Huge politics within sister teams and within teams.
- Very few annual leaves.
- If you take paternal/maternal leave, you will be PIPed upon your return.
Not an ideal company for people looking for work-life balance or to spend time with family at any point during their tenure at Amazon.
I'm too small to advise you on your toxic culture. Stay toxic.
