Amazon Web Services reviews

During my one-on-one meetings with my manager, he would spend several hours complaining about team members, his own manager, and the leadership. He would also harass me by changing my business title to an entry-level title, even though it did not affect my wage, as my job family was program manager. He would micromanage me and look for any opportunity to terminate my employment. His behavior was toxic and made my work environment unbearable. I submitted a report to the HR department regarding his behaviors and requested that my report not be disclosed to the manager. However, I later discovered that HR had leaked the information to the manager, which resulted in retaliation against me. Consequently, I was placed in the pivot and eventually terminated. It is advisable to avoid working in a toxic environment if it is not conducive to your overall well-being.

- Overtime work is an expectation for growth - Growth is an expectation for not getting PIP'd out of the company - Leadership Principles are weapons to be used against you; senior management is not held to the same standards - Lack of transparency in senior management decision making. Most of what I learn about Amazon comes from the news/leaks rather than formal internal communications - CEO Andy Jassy makes decisions based on his feelings and the opinions of other CEOs instead of getting feedback from his own employees. Then he acts like Amazon is an industry leader that doesn't look elsewhere for its decision making - It's a typical big corporate dinosaur but the leadership tries to sell itself as having "startup culture" which really just leaves employees with the worst of both worlds
