Cut-throat office politics & inhumane treatment of employees - Hardware Engineering Manager Amazon Lab126 Employee Review

Pros

Stock has done well in recent years.

Cons

Senior management and HR at this company contain a large concentration of some of the worst human beings you will encounter in Silicon Valley. The people running the show here have zero care for the quality or success of the products being produced or the welfare of the employees who design those products. The only thing that matters to the guys in this "good ol' boys club" is painting a rosy picture for the execs up in Seattle so they can continue collecting those juicy Jeff Bezos RSUs. Broken OLR (annual review) system. Broken anytime feedback system. Inhumane treatment of employees. Zero rules for senior management to follow and zero rights for employees.

Pros

The team is welcoming and supportive, with designers across visual, motion, and sound design (rare for Amazon) However, opportunities to collaborate across teams are relatively limited.

Cons

Decision-making can take time due to multiple stakeholder reviews. Balancing design quality with business constraints can be challenging. Job security has become less predictable in recent years.
