Amazon reviews

not at all a stable job

Boiler room dog-eat-dog environment, intense non-stop pace, little real focus on employee development, arrogant 'smartest person in the room' atmosphere Amazon treats most employees, especially non-tech employees, like a necessary evil. It is communicated to employees implicitly or explicitly that it is a privilege to work there, and that they should be thankful. Working at Amazon is like being in an abusive marriage with the homecoming king/queen that looks shiny from the outside, but hides a lot of misery on the inside. One of Amazon's leadership principles is "Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit". But many managers use this principle to bully their own subordinates into submission. Amazon is the dream workplace of every micro-managing, opinionated boss. Decent, well-rounded individuals with integrity are generally not happy and don't do well at Amazon.
