I like the constant micromanagement, bunch of loser managers with no spine to defend their own employees. I also love the ocasional stealing of work of their own employees. Sometimes they lie about their metrics so they will go to any extent to close reports that tell the truth. They scam L8 and L9 by showing wrong numbers and calculating numbers till saturday, ignoring all the pending tickets that might inflate numbers....Read More

You can simply use this company to get better offer from other companies. Donot work here unless you dont have a choice. If you are in Supply Chain, god bless you. The managers in this team keep grudges and make sure you dont get promoted. Too busy promoting their own "Wives" to the management positions, instead of those who worked under them. Behavior is so bad you will rather serve jail time. In short you can ignore these teams of Amazon-IBSC, Supply Chain, Category team,Capacity Planning Team, S&OP, AMZL, AMXL, BOX & FBA team on a whole. If you want real growth in Amazon join IN-Payments team or Cobra team or other tech teams for that matter. Apply IJP ASAP if you are under Aseem Khosla's team or Divya Kapoor or Samaddar Indranil's team. Be extra careful if you are a woman, because these cabins are not safe for you! On a whole Amazon is a great company, it is these teams and departments and a few individuals that you must avoid. Few people have made this place the slum that it is today. Search for these names in phonetool. If your hiring manager is associated with these 3 names that i mentioned, its a huge red flag! Do not join. Money will come later or else play nice for 6 months get an IJP and save yourself. Though its a miracle if you can survive 6 months! Samaddar Indranil keeps asking employees how old they are like a freak! Its not right to ask people's age that too not for casual reasons but for promotions. Aseem Khosla is the go to guy if you are a manager and you want to harass someone. His meticulate planning and experience in workplace harassment is off the charts. Also he is VP's(Abhinav) batchmate at ISB, so he thinks it is his right to harass employees. Divya Kapoor compliments these two with her Patent pending Verbally Abusive skills. She will keep micromanaging you and sometimes just scream at you for no reason like a vampire...best option is not to get into these teams that i mentioned at all. Its not worth it....Read More

Learning is great. Opportunities are less as levels are different and in order to reach next level you need to do projects only then you will reach next level and that too depends on company yearly progress

You cannot apply for higher position like if you are at l4 then you cannot apply for l5

The leadership consists of professionals and a hierarchy is followed in every department. The workload is not overwhelming, it only gets stressful during the Christmas period holiday(Beginning from Halloween till New Year's Eve). You will enjoy medical benefits, a collaborative HR team, and cooperative group managers.

Dislikes

The work culture has degraded a lot. Amazon has started cutting corners about on-site employees, which hinders employees from interacting among themselves. Work pressure doesn't match the salary often. Incentives to take up a temporary role aren't appealing enough.

Dislikes

The culture has been deteriorated, we have no WLB. Managers will give you ridiculous feedback even though you met your goals. The scenario is becoming even worse in many teams.

The office infrastructure is better than other. However, now a days start up are more fancier than Amazon.

Dislikes

The work culture is declining year over year. Management is focusing on quantity than quality. It is good to have a competitive work culture but there is no recognition no matter how much you give in. The expectation is to work for long working hours without any extra pay.

Likes

Amazon's work culture is great.

Dislikes

There are some teams in Amazon which are just a resemblance of hell. They will have rotational shifts and and rotational week offs, apart from these two factors, mandatory nights for 10 days in two months. Due to some morons, for their growth they come up with ridiculous challenges and will torture us for attaining it.

Likes

Company has a good culture

Dislikes

Not much growth opportunities and salary is very low for experienced employees which is equivalent to a fresher getting a job for first time. Pay package is way down below here compared to what is a normal or decent pay package in market in current times. Extending work hours is necessary to meet productivity and competition is very high which eventually leads to bad team politics

Amazon has a great campus Hyd 13 which is comfortable and convenient to work.

Dislikes

Poor Management, no proper feedback was given. I have reached out till L5 manager and HR manager regarding my job position, no one really cared about at least listening to my concern. The managers rules the associates there, whatever they think that is correct and lot of favoritism among the leaders. No justice, only partiality for their favourites. I didn’t even know whom to escalate my issues, so I had to forcefully resign my job....Read More

Only the work from home option is suitable. Rest I don’t have anything to mention about what I like working here.

Dislikes

The work culture is pathetic. There’s a lot of work pressure, even the performance standards are set too high. Overall the mental health of the employees is getting deteriorated day by day and the company is least bothered about it. All they want is that work needs to be done, no matter what policies are there plus how much is the workload. All they would want is that there work should be done.
