Not a good place to work

Pros

Nothing is good at amazon

Cons

- No work life balance - Everything is driven by leadership only, you can't make decision. If you'll provide any true feedback, you'll get diplomatic answer only from leadership. - Everything is measured in quantity not in quality. Like: how many projects have you delivered, how many tickets have you resolved. No one focuses on quality of work delivered. - Everything will be given to you even the work is not in your domain. If you won't do you are not an owner. Lol.

Pros

Nothing I can think of right now.

Cons

Clueless, having heard mentality managers. Toxic, egoistic colleagues, good people are leaving team. Toxic Culture, no work life balance. Managers only say they will listen, but they are clueless and having heard mentality leading to toxic work culture. Managers tell lame stories in name of feedback in 1:1 session.
