*No hybrid WFH option, and no adjustment in pay to reflect the horrific Seattle area housing market. Archaic office-centric culture of misery and failure. Huge attrition due to lack of ability to evolve with the industry, resulting in further schedule slips and brain drain.
*Worst offices most have encountered in their decades long careers (literally work in a circus tent loaded with incredibly small desks).
*Horifically bad tools and processes, so much so that forward progress is impossible. No willingness to improve. "Go back to go forward mentality" is really just going back, and making going forward impossible.
*Non-functional/technical figurehead style CEO and executive board, that makes mistake after mistake resulting in complete failure on all fronts, and is unwilling to listen to employees to make changes and improve the company.
*Poor opportunities for advancement, minimal pay raises, very limited promotions (no pay raise until you threaten to quit, loyalty not rewarded).
*Empty statements of support for diversity and inclusion, while embracing archaic policies of exclusion.
*Brainwashing tactics to mask failure, "The circus tent is a visionary solution to our office capacity problem!"
Blue is in a very bad spot right now, and likely won't change until the figurehead style executive board is eliminated and replaced with Jeffrey Bezos himself. Attrition and depression are rampant.
