A good place to launch your career, but not to stay in it
A good place to launch your career, but not to stay in it
- Good pay
- Working on impactful projects
- Collaboration with talented engineers
- Learning how to run projects and teams the Amazon way
-
Worst management ever in my 17-year career. Not empathetic and not at all striving to be the world's best employer (one of the last LPs), if not trying to be the worst.
-
Over-applying processes and LPs in a dumb manner sometimes; no adaptability, no creativity.
-
Your previous experience is completely ignored. You hear a lot, 'You need to learn the Amazon way.'
-
A lot of politics. If you know the system, you can tweak it for your favor.
-
Not as inclusive as Amazon states. Regular late meetings with US leadership, ignoring the time difference.
-
Stressful environment on which only delivering results counts, not the people at all.
-
Treated as kids with the RTO communication.
