Hard work doesnt pay, Managers play Favorites

Anonymous employee

Recommend

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.

Not a happy place for Tech

Business Outlook

Pros

- Free food, good food - Skip commute to NYC and drive to work - Business growing organically - Easy to hide and blame a.k.a. if you excel at politics, this is a great place

Cons

- the company's 5 new principles are contradictory to what the Tech team is in real life - nepotism, lying, weak backbone, personal politics, empire building, using the position of power to mute others, are the hallmark of Product and Tech Leaders. And it is getting worse -if you are a hardcore SDE or technical person, stay away -the most black-box tech organisation I have seen in my 13 years. Decisions are made hush-hush, even org changes are done quietly, the VPs prefer to stay in hiding so as to avoid any uncomfortable questions from SDEs, anyone who challenges the VPs or has the courage to ask difficult questions can quickly get into bad books and taught a lesson during performance review

Datawarehouse team is horrible.

Business Outlook

Pros

Earn Amazon brand in your resume. You have access to many Amazon resources only if you can make use of

Cons

Data Engineers in this team are the industry's worst skilled persons. All that they boast about is that they know how to write SQLs and do Data Analysis. No one gets opportunity to work on any latest technologies. That is because the bosses have no idea what the rest of the world is doing. They have no voice in the company.
