Wasted advanced education

After finishing my PhD, I was really excited to join Amazon. WHAT A MISTAKE! 

Even though I was hired into a team which works on my exact area of doctoral expertise, I was put on stupid ops work fixing tickets and staying up all night on-call to patch bugs which have been around for years. I was never allowed to really use my skills and expertise to move our customer features into the future. I was treated the same as someone with just a bachelor's degree so I don't know why they wasted my time and theirs recruiting me into this role. 

After six months of dealing with this garbage, I decided it was time to go and away I went! I'll never go back there and I don't think anyone else with advanced educational credentials should consider working there either.
