Pros

Overall, I had a great experience working at Amazon, with a positive work environment in first 4 years that fostered both personal and professional growth. I had the opportunity to work with inspiring leaders, gaining valuable expertise and advancing my career. Amazon’s flexibility during COVID-19 was particularly appreciated, allowing for a balanced and supportive work experience during challenging times.

Cons

-- Recent strict 5-day RTO policy limits flexibility, affecting work-life balance and morale. -- Lack of encouragement for innovation stifles creativity and limits growth opportunities. -- Leadership’s preference for the status quo creates a stagnant culture, limiting fresh ideas and progress. -- Performance reviews rely more on managerial judgment than objective criteria, leading to potential bias and inconsistency in evaluations. -- Leadership has shifted the past year from an empathetic to an overly directive style, creating a less supportive environment and impacting team morale. --Endless, unproductive meetings with little to no actionable outcomes waste time and detract from meaningful work.
