Amazon

Getting into Amazon is like a dream come true, with exposure to other technologies.

You will become utterly burnt out.

They add responsibility to you. Expect to be backstabbed by your colleagues and managers alike. Amazon will take you for every drop of blood you have.

If management does not like you, they will block your career path and make up every excuse not to move you forward. They are customer-centric, not employee-centric.

You are replaceable, and their false security that they can keep replacing employees with new ones will make your head spin and demoralize you. It's a battery chicken farm.

Expect to work over every public holiday, Christmas and Easter included, with no thanks whatsoever. Managers do take these holidays, though.

Become a customer and employee-centric company.

Avoid favoritism to certain employees by HR and management.
