Amazon Data Center Operations Manager reviews

Weak managers from top to bottom. Zero leadership but plenty of punishment to go around for violating policies that no one even knows exist.

Growing pains. Currently things are growing so rapidly that instead of hiring management that is used to the Amazon leadership principles Amazon has been hiring allot from outside. The down side to this is that these new employees/managers keep trying to change things to a system they are used to and killing some of the more dynamic and innovation friendly aspects of working here in a technical position. Unfortunately allot of the new managers have a poor understanding of how the technical side of things work as are trying to quantify everything with numbers, meaning they tend to think all projects with related backgrounds should take the same time and effort. These new managers also tend not to listen to people who have the technical backgrounds our jobs are based on, including other managers and instead charge head first into things they know little about. This situation will likely be temporary, but is very frustrating to deal with at the moment.
