Amazon work culture

Mar 31, 2021 14 Comments

If Amazon is such a bad place to work (as I see on blind) why do people still want to work for it so badly? I have heard stories of people getting rejected 5-6 times and then got in as if working for amazon is so prestigious.
Amazonians, please shed some light.

    They didn't have competing offer. Amazon hires anyone. Look at the low bar for hiring which "also" resulted in horrible managers at Amazon in large numbers.

      I mean this is nothing new. There are bad managers everywhere. Good bad is subjective. What do you classify as the wrong people, or what do you define as a bad manager?

      What I classify is limited to me. You asking wrong question. The posts on Blind clearly shows employment issues. To add more data points, just do a google search. Internet is full of Amazon employment issues. What is Amazon? A company gone wrong because of bad management hire in the food chain levels.

      This x100. As I said in another comment, I had offers from other companies basically 2x my TC. The problems and our culture just fits better with me. It blows people's minds when I say that but I don't get why lol

    Good money (top performers get decent money). Salaries seem low because we usually compare Seattle numbers with bay area. Easy immigration support for folks who are not US citizens. Potential to move to US, Canada and Australia.

    There's also H1B handcuffs. But the best part about Amazon is the wide range of successful products to work in. As an SDE it will suck no matter where you go but for most other roles it is good.
