Amazon Web Services reviews

I was at AWS from 2014 to 2022 as a CIA, TAM, and SA. At this time Amazon still operated as a scrappy startup and was a meritocracy. Around 2020 this changed and hiring decisions were made based on DEI bingo. Very demoralizing. That aside, the stress of any role will eventually get to you. It's a 4 year program and I stayed almost twice as long because I was working with cool customers and projects, but have an exit plan lined up. Amazon considers humans resources to be consumed and churned through. Anything bad you've heard about Amazon is likely true! :)

16 principles are made for the company's progress and not yours. They will throw different principles at you if you question the management. PIP is to put all employees in the RAT race. Do you have 50-100k in stock that is going to vest after 4 years? Be aware they will lay you off 1 or 2 months before they get vested. Big scammer
