Best place to work, but have problems as any other company
Best place to work, but have problems as any other company
It's one of the few companies where you can create something new or fix something that is not working properly and be recognized for it. It's not a company where your manager just says: "This is not your task, go talk with the owner to fix this" or just routes issues to someone else. We really feel that we are builders and we can work in a flexible and innovative environment.
As with any company, we have bad managers or those guys that are just smart enough to cheat the hiring process and get hired.
As Amazon grows, more and more people from other companies like Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft try to get hired at Amazon, and this brings both the good people and the bad people.
Sorry, we are not perfect, and those bad people get hired too.
The messaging from Jeff Bezos 20 years ago is still valid. The culture is not something that you can bend or adapt to your view.
It's something to keep at the core and not be "interpreted". It's time to get back to the roots and review some people who were hired. Assess if they are really following the leadership principles and have the cultural behavior, or if they are just bending the LPs to their own view.
