Svantaggi
Where should I start? - The employees is like brainwashed of children. They have the so called "leadership" principles and always throw these phrases to each other. I am pretty sure most of the employees don't understand what they mean, but they consider very cool. Last time I supposed this to cool in elementary school. - Managers act kings, who can do anything with their subordinates. They will do. They have problem if you: -- don't speak at the unnecessary company meeting, no matters you cannot add any constructive to the topic. -- raise your voice the task takes more time what they imagined. -- use your brain and not follow the other brainwashed employees (Amazonians? How childish...) - Managers likely: -- use the 121 sessions to discipline you. -- always try to find your weakness and use them in their game. -- not try to develop you. -- encourage you to backstab your colleagues. -- always can explain why they don't have to do something what they should do, and why you have to do something what you shouldn't do. - The quality of developers are bad. Some developers don't know elementary fundamentals of boolean algebra. Senior people don't care about the project, they are interested in only the promotion. - They use internal tools what are way much worse what the industry can offer for developers. - You will ended up fixing bugs what someone placed in the code long time ago. The best thing, a lot of people build features on this bug, so it is very likely you have to revert the change. Amazon is a place where they demand you to be professional, but they are not professionals. My manager missed a lot of deadlines, lied me a couple of time, monitored me with every small thing. When I left the company I had a lot of question about my exit. My manager couldn't answer to that, and gave me the contact e-mail of HR. HR didn't answer me, they reach you only they need something. And they want you to pay your bonus back.
