Pros
Training and remote onboarding were excellent.
Cons
We've gone from "work where you're most productive" to "you must be in the office" in the space of three months. I honestly thought Amazon ran on data, and follows its Leadership Principles, but apparently that doesn't apply to the CEO and leadership team. The return-to-office dictate has no data to back it up, and a 30,000+ strong petition from concerned employees, backed up by hard data and study after study, is being ignored completely. Instead we're forced back based on 'feelings' about 'culture'... This goes directly against Amazon's climate pledge, and shows that Amazon is just another hulking company bowing to the almighty shareholders. I feel like I was lied to throughout the recruiting and onboarding process, since those focused so much on the Leadership Principles that Amazon's leaders ignore.
