1.0

Amazon.com Anonymous in Seattle, WA:   (Past Employee - 2009)

Pros

Competitive salary, emerging technology, smart people, dynamic work environment

Cons

Senior management has little idea of the corporate environment beneath them. The worst management experience I've ever encountered--bullying, lies and intimidation.

Advice to Senior Management

Senior management at Amazon needs to improve the review process. False statements are given the same weight as valid ones-no attribution is required by senior management. Managment prefers to hear what they want to hear, instead of hearing the truth. This greatly complicates processes and adds unnecessary time to the development of effective processes. In my experience, Amazon gave me the experience of the worst boss I have ever had.

I couldn't agree more when you say, " worst boss ever". The managers at amazon do not communicate with you and expect you to read their mind when it comes to what their expectations are.

Agree with that - my last review was made up of complete fabrications but it was in the interest of the reviewer who wanted to move to a new role and axe our team. Happily, that person got axed themselves. The sad thing about it was my manager was supposed to be my champion and help me learn from my mistakes, but no, that would have required too much effort and thought.
