Pluspunten

I was very much overpaid for my position relative to the standard in Toronto, and the location near Union Station is fantastic and convenient.

Minpunten

I was marginalized for the entire time I was working there (~1yr). I had to literally beg my manager for a task that involved writing code 8 months into my work period. My teammates did not treat my work with urgency when it came to code reviews and design reviews, causing delays which were blamed on me but were not preventable. I had to learn proprietary internal systems that had little to no documentation without any assistance from my team (I was reprimanded when I asked for assistance), and whatever documentation did exist was frequently out of date, lacking important details, or just factually inaccurate. Amazon treats these issues in documentation as "ambiguity" and the company culture is not to encourage people to make sure the documentation is accurate, but rather to fix holes and issues only when a problem is found, causing frustration. Subsequent to leaving the company, I was treated with extreme disrespect when claiming my legal entitlements such as my Record of Employment to file for Employment Insurance as well as contractually allowed company expenses that were filed after leaving.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
