Vantaggi
Individual Performance Focus: If you’re motivated by competition and prefer working independently, Amazon’s focus on individual performance could be a plus.
Svantaggi
High Turnover and Team Instability: I went through interviews with a hiring manager, several co-workers, and HR. It seemed thorough, and I felt confident about my fit for the role. However, my excitement quickly turned to concern when I realized that almost everyone I had interviewed with had left the team by the time I started. The hiring manager I had met was no longer in the role, and I found myself working with a new manager and team members I hadn’t met during the interview process. This was a major red flag for me. Challenges During Uncertain Times: Being hired during a crisis like COVID-19 and then being forced out after less than a year due to a massive layoff reflects poorly on job security and company support during challenging times. Competitive and Isolated Culture: The competitive atmosphere and the way people work mostly on their own rather than as a team can be stressful and make you feel isolated.
