As an Amazon recruiter, I ask you to please believe everything you see on this site about how awful Amazon is as an employer. I read the online reviews before joining here, but I thought that I can overcome any of these situations and work anywhere for 4 years to maximize my stock payout. I was WRONG. 

For a company that prides itself on having smart employees, I reported to some of the worst managers in my entire career. All I learned from them was how to suck-up, lie, blame others, and cheat the performance numbers.

So many managers in Amazon are constantly lying to senior management. When their team is always short-staffed, they should be suspicious of those managers. They are not managing people out. The truth is everyone is quitting, regardless of how the managers try to spin it.
