AWS in APAC / Asia-Pacific = (ASEAN + INDIA + ANZ + KOREA) is run by the worst leadership I have seen. Don't be a fool... Go live a better life without Amazon. I'm walking out very soon myself.
Tell us more...
Basically an Egotistical Maniac by the name of Ed Lenta runs APAC and he has basically hired a bunch of Yes Men under him and everyone with a backbone has either been fired or more likely left to a better option. Everyone left is pretty much just hanging around to vest remaining RSUs. I'm tired of fighting an unwinnable battle to keep the culture of the company alive. So leaving, feel sad.
Damn sorry to hear that man... AWS is deeply respected out here in the US. Are these sales teams or engineering teams?
Thanks for the feedback.
we get a 1-2 mo trip to help ANZ take off btw, sweet deal for the chosen few
Clearly AWS team in Singapore is differrent from the rest. All the jobs require 10 yoe for L5 or L6. In US, you only need 3 years to get to L5. Looks like a bunch of old folks who dont like youngsters cuz they think they are smart.
Meanwhile they also hired a bunch of Day 2 people as L7s & L8s from places like Accenture McKinsey VMware Oracle as sales BD etc in important positions. These folks just don't understand being Amazonian. Some of the best long and middle term Amazonians have left.
Or they hired a bunch of “smart youngsters” who are really just LC savants that don’t really know anything.
LC is one thing, System Design is another. AWS SA Prof cert is also not that hard to get.
The AWS SAs are probably the only truly Amazonian group of people left in APAC. But unfortunately the leadership has split that team up into small disconnected units who now report to non technical sales managers. The Best SAs are suffering and leaving. The political ones are thriving.
