If you're below L10, you're one of the poors
Pros
- There exist good people who work at Amazon if you can find them - Is so wildly chaotic and disorganized that they effectively recreate natural selection, making them resilient to outside forces.
Cons
- Pays less than other big tech - Is "mandate" driven, even if it results in terrible decisions - RTO is a big pile of suck - Has some extremely toxic people - The "sociopath executive game of thrones" is readily on display. No attempt to hide it. - Prides itself in its objectivity while engaging in bad-faith interpretations of incomplete data - L5 and L4 tech jobs are an on-call meat grinder; it's easier to carry a pager than it is to build automation - Relies on a form of trauma bonding between team members by creating a common "enemy" (executive leadership) - In the past 24 months of employment, 13 of those months were 100-hour work weeks.
