Svantaggi
Where to start...it's a snake pit. I will try to elaborate, I was working as L4 employee, full time permanent and salary is super low when comparing same positions in Amazon and other companies. Other companies are offering at least 50% higher income when comparing with Amazon HR Services in Prague and better benefits. Many youngsters start their first job there straight off college or high school, so don't expect good work ethics, respect or knowledge from them as building is filled with them. Lot of mess! Team Managers are one word...'joke'!!! Zero experience in people management, zero empathy, most of them don't even bother to listen to their direct reports and they're only looking after themselves and their 'career' path. Senior management isn't very far from TM's, they're only looking after themselves and trying to impress their own managers over other people backs. Lot of people will give you their hand, but with other hand behind their back ready to backstab you! Also, other benefits which Amazon in Prague is advertising as benefits are ridiculous. Example, health care. Health care in Czech Republic is public, which means it's paid through your salary, so you will have it regardless of where you are working. Public transport reimbursement is also advertised, however they fail to say to you that you will pay yourself for full price then once you ask for reimbursement, they will deduct around 20-25% of tax from your salary. Working from home also...it's so rare you might get it once a month or you won't even get it. Salary increase is non-existent, this year they offered us salary increase of 50CZK per month (fifty CZK) which equals to €2 , which is complete disgrace for Amazon and the richest company in the world. Career opportunities don't exist, cause your manager won't let you go, and they will hire someone from outside with zero experience into HR rather than hiring an internal candidate. Recruiters are rude, they lack of communication skills, and Amazon's 2&5 promise doesn't exist. Amazon was a good company to work for, once it came to Prague, but now, they are just horrible. What's even worse, around 200 people left suddenly to other companies from January 2018 - March 2018 from Amazon HR and around 60 people from TRMS cause of its management and salary increase decline. My advice, if you want to get some first hand experience how business should not be done, to be treated like a child, people patronising you, being managed by people with zero people management skills, and to witness nepotism...join Amazon in Prague.
