An unhappy career

Software Development Engineer (SDE)
Current Employee
Has worked at Amazon for less than 1 year
October 27, 2023
2.0
Pros
  1. Learn a lot by being a part of huge infrastructures, services, and products.
  2. The Amazon brand on your resume does hold good value.
  3. The compensation is competitive.
Cons
  1. Not a pleasant/friendly work culture. Most of them are only tolerating it for the money. Nobody is a friend; they are strictly colleagues.

  2. Team building activities are not encouraged. The concentration is only on squeezing out as much work as possible from the employees before they decide to leave.

  3. Very manager-based decisions when it comes to promotions or firing. If you do not escalate your issues with your manager soon enough, there is a good chance you would be pushed under the bus and thrown out with a pivot plan.
