I also worked at Amazon, and believe a lot of what was on this NYT article was overly dramatic (not surprising). I never saw anyone cry, so the assertion that everyone cries is false (I just asked dozens of my former colleagues that are still there and they agreed). While it could be tough to work there because it was intense, so what? They get stuff done. They don't need to give free food and provide nap pods, you are too busy driving hundred million dollar businesses with your team of 1. While there were definitely areas that could have benefited from change, there are several anecdotes in this article that are out of context or extreme. Amazon never claimed to be full of frills and benefits, and they push you hard but its in exchange for more responsibility than most people will ever receive and the ability to be around extremely smart and hardworking co-workers. On another note, how long before the Washington Post (which Bezos invested in) writes a 180 view of the NYT article??? |
