Amazon

The volume of learning and growth you experience is unmatched, given that you are committed to make the most of it.

Your team will be some of the smartest people you will ever work with.

Your experience is highly dependent on the org and your manager. If you see any red flags here, be ready to walk away because they will dictate what your experience will be like at Amazon.

Poor managers will use power and intimidation to enforce compliance from you if there's anything about you or your performance they don't like.

Abolish stacked ranking at Amazon. Hold managers to stronger ethical and moral standards. It's not right if a manager can grind out their team just so they can parade their short-sighted wins for their own benefit.

I've had four amazing years at Amazon, but that was all overshadowed with one bad experience with a poor manager.
