Amazon

You'll learn a ton, make a lot, and if you can survive at Amazon, you can survive anywhere.

Transferring teams is easy.

If you want to get stuff done, you'll love Amazon.

Part of my passion would die if I spent time working in a place with a lot of bureaucracy.

For a company as big as Amazon, I was shocked how efficient the company is.

Some teams have a "sink or swim" culture for new hires, as they are sometimes not given as much support. Managers have a lot of power, so if your manager doesn't like you, you'll be miserable.

Kill pip culture. It doesn't motivate employees and only creates a toxic culture. I don't think it improves the hiring bar whatsoever. It also doesn't make sense from a moral perspective.

If everyone does well, does someone need to fail? It's bizarre. There should be no curve.

Amazon is probably losing hundreds of millions from this decision. There's a good reason companies abandoned stack ranking, as it's awful for everyone.

Bring back full work from home. It's what everyone wants. Some will vote with their feet.

After this miscommunication, there are more talks about Amazon's move towards a "Day 2" culture, as they're resisting change and disruption.
