> Amazon is all stick, no carrot This has always been true of Amazon. It was true when I joined ten years ago, and it was true ten years before that. Okay, sure, there have been small carrots at various points. The company Christmas party used to be pretty wild. But even those small carrots have been getting stripped over time. When I see young engineers considering a job at Amazon, I tell them to only take it if they have no other options. Amazon will find a way to traumatise you, and you might not even realise it for years. I've been gone for four years now, and I've suddenly found myself constantly worried about being fired, even following good performance reviews. It's a story every ex-Amazonian I know has lived out in some way. tl;dr, fuck Amazon.
