Amazon.com – “Be Prepared To Do Your Worst Work!”

Pros

Location, location, location - easy commute if you live in Seattle.

Some smart folks working down in the "trenches".

An "OK" job for someone right out of school, and never experienced anything better. But a <b>horrible experience</b> for a seasoned professional.

Cons

Multiple projects mislead by mid to upper level management who had no idea what they wanted. Really guys, can you waste anymore of my time on such a simple project?

Upper management caving to whims of executive management during project reviews - upper management would say one thing during a team review and do a complete 360 during executive reviews.

A dry, sterile work environment…not a lot of happy folks to deal with on a daily basis. A fair number of personality challenged individuals.

Archaic publishing systems and mediocre hardware provided to employees.

Advice to Senior Management

If you are going to hire experienced employees, please stop with all the micromanagement. This is so very wasteful.
