Bad Management, Impossible to Promote
Bad Management, Impossible to Promote
No pros for me, to be honest, other than working in such a big company.
There is no way to criticize how management does well. The team lead is more focused on your failures rather than your achievements. On the other side, they count the number of code reviews and tasks you've done, which is not realistic unless the size is given and the task is broken down. Helping each other in Amazon is really bad, and nobody cares about you as they see you as an opponent. Team leaders and senior engineers are really rude.
Do not micromanage. Focus on achievement rather than issues. Promote the engineers who really deserve it. Helping each other can speed up progress. So, instead of telling a senior engineer not to explain the solution to a problem, let them help engineers grow.
