Amazon Web Services reviews

The CEO is awful at communicating. Expect to hear about policies that affect your life from external news sources before they are communicated internally. The Return to Office announcement went back on promises made to employees and disrupts so many lives. Don't expect them to be serious about Inclusion. They are so far behind others and still call women 'diverse hires' (like there's no other kind of diversity!) There's no accountability from VPs and senior leaders. When times get tough you can expect monthly meetings to be cancelled so they don't have to answer difficult questions. While people are getting laid off, AWS execs are literally dancing on TV shows and sending emails round to staff asking them to donate money. They talk about being data driven but if they want to do something the data doesn't support they'll just do whatever they want. If you accept an offer, get everything you agree on writing especially in relation to where and when you work. They can and will go back on what you verbally agree. Know that any compensation they give you as RSUs or joining bonuses are completely forfeit if they decide to lay you off.

-Everyone is just going after the next Level and willing to throw anyone under the bus to get there. -Instead of using feedback to improve, they just get rid of the person giving the feedback. -Your job duties may be X, but they'll put 4X the work on you because they know you won't quit. -The Partner org is basically run by a muppets and an overly-influential divorcee. -There are politics in every company, but AWS takes pride in it's toxicity.
