Your benefits are crap.
Your politics are unhealthy and a lot.
Your pay is not top tier.
You stock vesting is so frugal. Stupid 5 15 40 40
Your hire to fire and pip culture is shitty.
Your work like balance (oh sorry work life harmony) is poor.
Your get dinged on every possible forum on earth for not being employee friendly.
No wonder your recruiters run around our inboxes every day without any luck. Most people don't even want to join you.
I wish amazon was a better company for employees. But unfortunately, it's just a customer centric company. Unfortunately, the leaders from Amazon are so stupid that they don't even know that it's your employees who keep the customers happy so you must treat them well.
Edit: Why do I care about all this? I really wished to work for Amazon but the aforementioned frugal culture and shitty employee treatment keeps me away from Amazon.

Secondly, I am not at Amazon.. control yout outburst
You called me a cry baby working at a low bar company like Microsoft.. lol.. so I am just returning the favor, my so called outburst on you is because of your response and it has nothing to do with amazon. ππ₯±
Politics are the same as any other workplace. You gotta represent yourself and be liked. Nothing special.
Pay is really really good. Sure G pays more but I'm not gonna whine about my pay when I know how little is paid elsewhere for SWEs. (Current TC 180k for SDE1).
Stock vesting meh, the bonus makes up for it the first 2 years anyway. I take that money and invest it so no difference to me.
Can't speak on pip culture since I've only been here 6 months and on track for promo in another 6. Getting docs ready.
Work life balance has been excellent. Less than 40 hrs a week. When on call it can hit 45-50 but never anything late night or weekends.
Like I said, I'm not gonna undermine anyone else's experience. This is just mine and I'm glad I made the choice to work here. Sorry you feel otherwise
