Horrible experience, looks like a mental hospital - Project Manager Amazon Employee Review

1. Worse environment ever: a hyper-competitive and grey flock that brainlessly executes against Jeff's strategy. 2. Self-centered sectarian culture. Jeff is viewed like an idol, a holier version of Jesus Christ that cannot be questioned on any of his actions/decision. He gave his population with 10 commandments (see Amazon Values): he punishes and rewards according to those. The only option here is not to show any brain / self analytical ability: every deviation from the commandments is a true tabu for the Holy Inquisition. Competitors are hated with rancor, top management is adored, employees are hammered every day with the holy scriptures of the week (Jeff letter to investors, Jeff's last interview, Jeff vision on how to grow strawberries). 3. Un-human work-life balance. Actually internally they say you should talk about work-life "harmony": a totally different concept than "balance". One of the many trials to make you accept you'll have to spend most of your weekends in the office, not to speak about your evenings and sometime nights. All for what? They'd say "We are making history", another of Jeff's brilliant truths. Of course, you don't make history working 8 hrs per day. Not a surprise the average life of an employee is 12 months with the company. Once at a summit an employee was publicly honored because he preferred to come to the office rather than going to his sick child at the hospital. Before accepting an offer by Amazon, please consider that this is what they reword.
