      Mixed bag and overall disappointment - Software Development Manager Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      I managed a great team of software developers and had great peer managers and manager.

      Cons

      Amazon's upper management mismanaged their growth projections, and I have yet to see them take ownership of it. I was hired in 2022 and laid off in 2023 after only working a few months. The communication and handling of layoffs were very poor. Also, the employment agreement was pretty one-sided. They promised me a very lucrative pay, bonus, and stock package, and with the layoffs, I only received a fraction. I would want the sign-on bonuses to be more guaranteed in a future agreement.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
