It’s a solid summary of the most commonly known complaints and confirmed condition, and the commenter’s opinion is clear.

If someone values working for a firm that doesn’t have a questionable relationship with their employees, the comment provides value. It’s up to the reader to determine if the good outweighs this list; or at least enough to work there.

Amazon gets and deserves a lot of bad press, but to me it’s no different than any other huge company with lots of blue collar workers. Apple, google, meta, and many more tech companies manufacture hardware products in overseas factories with awful working conditions, but I don’t see people boycotting working for those companies nearly as often as Amazon.

Indeed. And being a cloud/systems engineer well versed in Azure -and- AWS, along with networks, DCops, FedRAMP, and more, I'm in the ideal target group to get hired in to Amazon and spend a few years there.

But I see how they treat their employees from lowest to highest. I don't want any part of that.
