A fair website, but sucks as a place to work - Technical Writer Amazon Employee Review

Highly politicized. People are literally not important. Career development is a joke. There is only one upgrade path. Failure in anything means a halt to upward movement. (I've seen great people stopped because of a relatively trivial error.) Compensation is truly horrendous, and benefits are Scrooge-like. Developers are a commodity, and work 80h weeks with oncall duty performing system maintenance. This is the most seat-of-the-pants and blame-the-victim company I've ever worked for. Hard work is not rewarded, because it's usually throwaway work. Long-term planning is a joke.
