Amazon is ABSOLUTELY NOT the worst employer

… quite far from it.

Amazon doesn’t -

1. Have bad talent
2. Threaten former and current employees
3. Fake Glassdoor reviews
4. Do PR stunts
5. Promote bad talent
6. Underpay (by a wide margin)
7. Isn’t a cult
8. Have a bad product (they’re great in fact - prime, aws, WF)
9. Hire idiots
10. Disrespect customers

In fact I think it’s a great employer. I have worked at companies that have all or some of the listed points and amazon stories here on blind aren’t even close to what most folks in those companies have experienced.

P.S: I never have and most likely won’t work at amazon (as an IC) - but I have great respect towards it. It’s better than any other seattle based companies any day!

Now you may go back to enjoying or fucking up your weekend. Cheers! 🍻

    Nice try, Amazon HR. We know most of those points are false.

      "If they were firing only bad talent, why do you think there’s so much hate on Amazon’s PIP practice?"

      Because people who get managed out for performance reasons and post about in blind always think it's some management conspiracy rather than the result of their own shortcomings. Blind is a support group for these people

    Worked at Amazon. They absolutely have and promote bad talent, and plenty of poor products. And they hire so many idiots, you realize this each oncall shift

      OP
      You can’t be comparing folks at amazon with FB, google, snap. They’re not great but I don’t think they’re that bad.

      You probably never worked at other well known non-fang companies

      I’ve worked at retail companies, such as Gap. I think the engineers I worked with there are more than capable of thriving at Amazon (minus the shit WLB). In fact when I was at amazon I’ve referred them and they’ve done well
