Rank and Yank / Revolving Door / Sysadmin Sweatshop
Pros
Medical benefits are great. Thats it.
Cons
RANK AND YANK is rapid here. Rank their employees 1-5, with 5 being the worst Yank the 5s. Guess what, its 15-20% of the company. You get placed on focus/pre-pip and you have to make your manager look good when they do their manager meeting in order to get off. This effects your work life balance, because you have to stay longer at work, work weekends, and be more cutthroat than your other co-workers. (Steal cases, presentations, write documentation that is already written) I've had one on ones with my managers for years (Yes, plural managers, remember, revolving door), never had I had a performance complaint. All of a sudden, on year 4 before my RSU vest, I was placed on focus, and the date that my focus was to be completed was, you guest it, 14 days before my RSU vest. Amazon doesnt lay you off, they say your performance is not up to their cult leadership principles so they dont have to pay you unemployment. 401k is only 2% match. Amazon doesnt care about your retirement. RSUs are a joke. 3 Days a week in the office when we have been working remotely for over a year.
