Is the Amazon culture really as toxic as they say? I come from a company who sets the bar high in toxicity, but was wondering how is Amazon as a place to work, and if it really is team dependent. I am looking for a company which will give me peace of mind, reasonably good pay, and decent WLB in tech strategy.

It’s really team/manager/role dependent, like any company. One manager was toxic, one was the best manager I’ve ever had. Couldn’t be happier with my experience, I barely work 30 hours per week and I work with smart, competent people who do things super efficiently. Not everyone has this experience

I came from LEK and work at Amazon now - surprisingly both are equally toxic because of the emphasis on managers. Meta was 100000% better WLB

Exact opposite of my experience and mine aligns more with the latter view 🤷🏼‍♂️ again, clearly org/team dependent

If you’re from LEK, you’ll be fine (in terms of toxicity)
