Pros

Lots of experienced people to learn from.

Cons

Upper management is oddly not open to any ideas that worked at other companies. They hire for experience and then dismiss that experience as not the Amazon way later. Strange.

Advice to Management

Manage people up when not hitting KPIs, not manage them out with unrealistic PIPs.

This is a waste of time, just for them if this is the intended outcome.

Use people's previous experience when it was productive, just don't dismiss it based on personal biases or wanting to be seen as an Amazon cheerleader.
