Amazon.com – “Don't work here. Most difficult year of my life. During this time I had to go on a 1/2 dozen medications just to cope.”

Pros

Forward thinking mentality. Customer centric. Smart colleagues. Good learning experience for how to be frugal, work harder than you ever have and get no feedback or praise in return.

Cons

The intensity would be too much for anyone to deal with. It is very normal for senior-management to yell at each other in large groups and employees. Managers get right in your face. I've always been on the top tier of employee reviews which doesn't matter. Everyone at Amazon is anxiously waiting to get out. So many statements and commitments were broken from the time I interviewed to the time I got the job. My boss changed his tune about almost every issue.

Advice to Senior Management

Monitor your senior leadership. Encourage enthusiasm and happiness. Enforce a zero tolerance for hostile work environments. Be honest and straightforward.
