Hello. I saw a role in Amazon Last Mile but keep hearing bad things about this management. Is it still bad? Why? I think I have the background for it and its the only thing interesting me in amazon now, but don't want to waste a chance getting in if its going to be a bad interview experience. Could someone share any insight or what level this role is? A837426 I used to work with sensor manufacturers who created LiDAR and mapping solutions for autonomous cars and just want to continue in that but in FANG. Thank you.
I made a mistake by not going through people’s advice before accepting their offer. Don’t do that mistake. Amazon is not a good place.
Care to get into the details? What is exactly crappy?
Depends where you are. I’m at Amazon now, personally I like it much better than MSFT.
How long have you been in Amazon? The word is 2 year mark is when things go south
4 months. I might be back at MSFT at the 2 year mark. Who knows? I left because career progression at MSFT is a joke. I went two years without a promotion, after being promised one for a full year, so I quit. I know other people that have gone 6+ years.
One of my worst managers from MSFT is hiring on that team. He pretty much kissed ass and threw his reports under the bus every chance he got. His LinkedIn says hiring mobile developers. Good lord, he was truly at the bottom of the barrel. I would never join his team!
Does his first & last name start with "A"?
Last mile is extremely political due to some bad actors at the top of the leadership chain. Decision making is super slow because of a broken org structure, which was put in place to keep leaders happy and have them build empires. As a space, it is quite interesting with a lot of challenging problems but the red tape and politics can get super frustrating.
Amazon as a whole company is bad!
