Pros

There are no pros to working here. They only behave well with you during interviews and before you join. After you join, it's all downhill.

Cons

Awful work. Nothing gets done here due to lots of politics.

They are miles behind their competitors in technology.

Forget about Amazon; they can't even compete with companies like Walmart.

Things have started to go worse due to competition from Amazon.

If you are on an H1 visa, completely avoid the company.

The HR is straight off lying to H1 employees, promising them a green card in 6 months.

Once you join, the tune completely changes.

The managers keep coming up with excuses, and they are ready to completely jeopardize your career and life.

The managers also behave very badly with employees and do not show any appreciation for the hard work employees do.

HR collects surveys about managers just for show; nothing comes out of it.

Advice to Management

Get rid of your mid-level managers and architects.

They are ruining the company.

Implement the suggestions that you get from the best team survey.

Soon Amazon will take over whatever is left.
