Heard Amazon does papers in Word for meetings instead of decks in PPT. Then at the beginning of the meeting, everyone spends the first 10 mins or so reading the paper.

I heard that if you’re working 40 hours be prepared to get fired

Culture is quite intense and they don’t have the same benefits other tech companies do. My sister works there

What about Microsoft culture?

Never realized how bad Amazon was until FB. Is it the case at all levels?

I hated the experience. They wasted my time and could have asked some additional questions to rule me out before spending the day there in a dehumanzing interview process... Good luck.

Have a ton of friends who work there; your experience is 100% dependent on what team you join. I've heard some pretty awful stories..

This is all really inspiring...

Hey guys. I’m looking for some advice on a new promotion to Radiology Supervisor. It’s a great opportunity and I know I will be great in the position. The only problem is I’m worried about the issues it may create. I’m pretty fresh out of school (<2yrs) while my peers have 5-10+ years of experience. I know it’s going to cause some tension, and some may even quit. Any advice on how to navigate the situation?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
