Leadership cannot be trusted. They would sacrifice their own grandmother to save a dollar. The company will tell you anything to get you through the door, only to change everything once you're employed. I've been repeatedly lied to by my direct management and indirectly through the S-Team about company direction and policies.
Don't fall for the propaganda about Corporate workers being treated fairly compared to dissatisfied hourly factory workers - it's all false. Exceptional work goes unrewarded, as raises are rarely given regardless of circumstances. You're merely a cog in their machine, replaceable at any moment regardless of your personal situation. Policy trumps people here, always.
Work-life balance is practically non-existent. They're one of the largest H1-B employers in the country - just look up all the different names Amazon operates under on the H1-B list and you'll see they're #1. They exploit cheaper labor, provide minimal benefits, force long hours until workers are exhausted, then discard them accordingly.
Senior leadership is delusional, believing 9/10 employees love commuting to the office for RTO5. I can assure you 9/10 think the CEOs are completely out of touch with reality. If I could do it over, I wouldn't offer my God-given talents to this company for any amount of money. Unfortunately, after relocating across the country based on their lies, I'm stuck until the job market improves or I can relocate again.
Don't make my mistake by working for this horrible company. Remember, they spend enormous sums to be ranked as the #1 employer in the country each year, with marketing departments dedicated to making their lies believable. You WILL be lied to and discarded as soon as they find a cheaper replacement, even without any real experience.
It's astounding how they can continue to operate, but there's always another sucker willing to take the bait for the right price, becoming the next victim of their people-eating machine. Get in make your money do as little as you can get away with and plan an exit strategy. That is the only smart more to make with this company.
