Smart Team, Toxic Culture
Smart Team, Toxic Culture
Work gets done!
Super smart people who will push you to learn and grow, which will set you up for success outside of Amazon.
The culture is quite toxic. The excessive use of the leadership principles is like a constant reminder that you're a part of a high-paying cult. Everyone wears those virtues on their sleeve and weaponizes them to their gain at every turn, but when the rubber meets the road, they will sell out with extreme hypocrisy.
Lead with empathy.
Obsess over your employees as you do your customers.
