Amazon reviews

Poor management, non supportive, secretive. Retention problems, revolving door atmosphere. Extremely metrics driven. More, more, more recruiters is the "solution" for talent acquisition. So many that it becomes counter productive with candidate ownership issues and internal competition. No value given towards positive candidate experiences. Management tends to look for reasons to NOT hire. Too many obstacles in place towards making hires. No work/life balance. Tendency to down-level. Numbers-driven Agency mentality. Laughable "culture", crappy desks with no attention to ergonomics. Unethical leadership from top on down. Management kudos given to top brown-nosers. No shortage of Kool-aid for everyone!

Amazon.com has been slowly degrading as a great place to work. It took several years for me to notice, however there it is. Project deadlines are insane (95% of the time). The company's customer centrism works against it as a workplace as company employees are not customers. Your needs come secondarily to the customer. Which means: No perks, no philanthropy, small raises if any, low powered equipment, and a general lack of care by upper management for the operations load generated by rushing projects out the door. (So that pager going off in the middle of the night? yhea... tell me that isn't irritating at 4 in the morning)
