I missed anything my children had during the day or in the evenings because I was working. And during the evenings, I had conference calls with India 3-4 times a week beginning at 8 PM and lasting until 11.
I worked on Christmas almost every year I was there. My manager even stated that it wasn't his job to help develop my career - it was mine.
AMAZON SOFTWARE ENGINEER TURNOVER RATE HOW TO
I was supposed to ask other people within Amazon how to do things. I didn't get any training other than in how to resolve customer issues. And during business planning (Operational 1 and 2) twice a year, it was common for us to sleep in the office so we could get the giant data pulls done that management asked for. This was after running data reports every Sunday beginning in the morning and not finishing until very late at night. I worked for a manager that slept in his car on Sunday's so he could be in the office bright and early for the weekly business review with top management. As other past employees have pointed out, job description switcheroos are very common at Amazon. I was supposed to work as an account manager but ended up with a completely different job on the quality team (Amazon is so big on lean management and I worked as a Kaizen specialist). I started out in a team that supported third party sellers on Amazon. I have worked at other big tech companies like Microsoft and thought that would prepare me for a job at Amazon corporate - but that wasn't the case. It was the single-worst working experience in my 20 year career. In the past two days, we've brought you stories from… Amazon Insiders Tell the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Today: two more employees speak about high turnover, panic attacks, and the Amazon's military lifestyle. In the past week, we've heard from a parade of Amazon insiders-both warehouse workers and white collar employees-speaking about the serious flaws in the company's intense, sometimes inhuman work environment.
