Terrible Work Life Balance

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

None, maybe compensation but you are sacrificing a lot.

Cons

Get punished for mishaps that has no customer impact except getting you in to "Focus", which messes up your yearly comps and potential termination. No room for development or their "Learn to be Curious" no promotions unless you part of the back stabbing team, even if you are top tier year over year.

Giant Hpocrisy!

Pros

Innovative environment. Until recently, company had incredible growth with hiring, use to be a safe place to work and never laid off. Pay to market scale Great and smart people!

Cons

Work life balance doe not exist. Giant Hypocrisy! They make you live by the Leadership Principles but management does not. Employees do not count, everything is for the sake of the customer and employees can be burned for the sake of the customer. Bezos biggest ring master in this hyporcisy. Talks about having background and then committing but when NY was asking about his unfair labor practices, he backed out of HQ2 in New York City.

Pros

Ok Salary for the work.

Cons

Felt like Romania in the 70s or North Korea. Jeff Bezos portraits on every wall. Jeff Bezos citations on every surface, Company handbook like a bible. Jeff Bezos books on every shelf. Not my place.
