Cut-throat office politics & inhumane treatment of employees - Hardware Engineering Manager Amazon Lab126 Employee Review

Pros

Stock has done well in recent years.

Cons

Senior management and HR at this company contain a large concentration of some of the worst human beings you will encounter in Silicon Valley. The people running the show here have zero care for the quality or success of the products being produced or the welfare of the employees who design those products. The only thing that matters to the guys in this "good ol' boys club" is painting a rosy picture for the execs up in Seattle so they can continue collecting those juicy Jeff Bezos RSUs. Broken OLR (annual review) system. Broken anytime feedback system. Inhumane treatment of employees. Zero rules for senior management to follow and zero rights for employees.

Pros

Good pay, interesting problems to solve, and smart teammates.

Cons

No benefits (food, freebies, etc). I know one of the LP has to do with frugality, but wish they were less frugal toward employees

Pros

Lab 126 has a lot of bright engineers and designers, and resources to get things done and ship products.

Cons

Amazon's values are all about the customer -- the employees come second. That means you'll have fewer quality of life nice-to-haves.
