Minpunten
Low Salary and Lack of Recognition: This is one of the most underrated and underpaid roles at Amazon. Promotions are rare, and while they claim the bar is high, promotions often go to people who worked on pointless tasks, which seems to be the actual standard. Feedback-Driven Politics: Everything here revolves around feedback and office politics. Leadership is out of touch with what’s really happening at the ground level, kept satisfied by skewed metrics that don’t reflect reality. Unequal Standards: Many people hired for this role don’t meet even the basic expectations. It’s unclear how they were hired in the first place or how they manage to stay. A lot of these people are from a specific region (Telugu), and others end up doing their work for them while everyone still gets similar ratings. They’re often allowed to harass others, and while not all Telugu employees are like this, the good ones tend to either switch teams or leave the company. If you don’t play along with these MFs, they’ll make things hard for you. Good Employees Are Undervalued: Skilled people who do their jobs well often go unrecognized or even get laid off, while those with poor work ethics somehow manage to stay and thrive.
