I do not work for Amazon, but I do live in Seattle and see thousands of Amazon employees walking around SLU at lunch time. They generally appear happy. Im sure there's terrible exceptions amongst the many thousands, but I do not understand this hyperbolic condemnation in your comment.
- jsolson 9y agoI worked there for a couple years, and I still live in Seattle. If possible, I will not work there again. It was not a bad place, but it was also not a good place. It took leaving (which I almost didn't do) to realize that second part. That's largely why I won't go back. There's a strong commitment within the company to the idea that you're part of something bigger, and that being part of that makes sacrificing comp, nights, weekends, and innumerable other things worth it. It was deeply satisfying in a local extrema sort of way.
- jshmrsn 9y agoYep, total respect for it not being a great place in every situation, or worse for some. I just found my comment's parent very... unrealistic.
