Amazon Technical Editor reviews

Arbitrary evaluation and review processes result in managing out incredibly qualified employees in order to spend hundreds of hours looking to replace them - and then doing the same thing every year.

Our small team went from one uninterested manager to an incompetent one who had no idea what our team of 8-10 people was doing (and didn't seem to care). As a result, the business has been driven into the ground and 80% of the team left in 2 years. Performance management is not remotely transparent and always sits in the back of your mind. One day I was told that I was not meeting the bar in a few areas, despite seven years of positive reviews from managers and peers. I was moved quietly through "focus" and then into "pivot". The reasons given were one-off nitpicky things, but there's no point in fighting, so I took the severance and left.
