I work in an Amazon subsidiary. Reasons I am bored and unmotivated: 1. Mostly average engineers in the company. Some are plain dumb and yet being promoted, which says a lot about the management. 2. New SDE-2's being brought from outside while neglecting promotion of SDE-1's inside of the company who are performing above their level already. 3. The one's being hired from outside are also of below average quality. They also do the same basic boring work and don't venture into anything new. Most of them lack common sense and the ability to grasp things. They just keep pinging people for "help", but what they're really looking for is the solution straightaway. Someone or the other helps them out of pity or frustration. 3. Projects are boring, use legacy tools and there is ZERO innovation. Didn't do anything I am proud of in my <2 years tenure. 4. Management sucks and lack basic skills. Have no idea how software engineering works. Most of them are in rest and vest mode. Q1: Is this that common in every big company out there? Q2: Is proper Amazon same? Or its just different in a subsidiary from the parent company? Q3: Is it time to switch? Will the new employer take care of the money lost in yearly stocks vested here?

Not being disrespectful but if everyone else around you is being given opportunities you are not, consider you may be the outlier. Have you talked to your boss or HR for discrete reasons why you were passed up? Do you have a development plan agreed upon by management to put you on a promotional course? If that fails, you may want to look at the market for different fields.
Iβm so glad I turned down audible 6 years ago. LeetCode. Amazon proper is not like that of course.
My first reaction to this as an investor is that it's common for the worker to get blamed for failure of a specific (and often even relativly meaningless) goal or inefficiency. It's much more rare for the management hierarchy of an organization to be blamed and suitably dinged for lack of leadership or setting destructive goals for the whole organization that negatively impact customers as well as employees as well as investors or even general society -- but regardless these decisions/actions/inactions create much more dire outcomes for everybody involved. And even if they do get dinged for a bad outcome (if it's really bad that is) getting fired usually amounts to a bonus and vacation.
