Day One

At Amazon, everyday is day one! This means that they act on impulse because they didn't plan ahead and drive their employees crazy. If you can't stand arbitrary change, beware of joining here.

The managers here don't drink their own Kool Aid . No one really believes in the so-called Leadership Principles, but you better know them well to get hired and then you can forget them immediately. They are only used by management to manipulate, control, and chastise employees. Unless you are hooking up with your manager, you're never doing well here no matter how much you do. Instead, you are only either in trouble or not in trouble.

Amazon seems to truly dislike their employees and treat them like a necessary evil.
