Lied about Virtual Work Location in Hiring Process

Pros

Good teams exist, but they're a needle in the haystack. The all cash signing bonus was pretty sweet while it lasted. Cool security problem set you don't really get at many other companies due to AWS' sheer size

Cons

Recruiters overtly lied to head-hunt myself and 3 former colleagues from our former company. All 4 of us had virtual work locations specified in our offer letter and Amazon essentially laid us off by saying relocate to the Arlington, VA office by a specified date or you're effectively resigning. Duplicate then eliminate makes pointing out inadequacies in competing teams work products tantamount to your survival here. Many of L8 Directors in different organizations were incredibly unprofessional and lacked backbone.
