Hard work doesnt pay, Managers play Favorites

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Food, current growth, and great product

Cons

HR doesnt do their job, and often time overlooks managers who play favoritism. The intense favoritism for certain individuals will often time result in people assuming choices are made by other criteria besides work performance (Gender, Race, religion, etc) . No oversight of managers for promotion allows for manager bias to hold back hard working individuals. Some people have to work longer and harder for promotions than other people. Some people just never get promoted because of politics their managers play.

Pros

They have free lunches everyday Under Amazon wing

Cons

They literally dupe you. The higher management has no concern for the employees and what they want. There is a serious lack of communication There is no focus on employee happiness. They say there is a work life balance but I dont see it. There is a provision to work remotely but it is frowned upon by your colleagues. People gossip all the time and tend to be into other people's business. Overall a very toxic work culture. One hardly ever sees the CEO. Setting up meetings with anyone above your manager is next to impossible. No good intake program. No good mentorship program.
