What I value most about my compensation package is its balance: competitive base salary, performance-based bonuses, and equity that aligns my incentives with long-term company success. This structure rewards both short-term results and long-term impact.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The system is setup against the employee with ever changing rules that favor the company.
No recognition. No opportunity for promotion. Being forced to return to office.
I am not managed properly
Unvalued? That's an understatement. My contributions are met with indifference, my expertise ignored. It's like being a ghost, contributing to a void. Better compensation? Insulting. Recognition, appreciation, respect - those are the treasures truly missing. Pay me in dignity, not just dollars.
Take into consideration the experience
What are some of the best things about your team?
They all support each other, I feel very comfortable going to any one of my team members for assistance knowing anyone of them are willing to help out.

Review from Product Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Peers are great, the executive and Directors need to get together to figure out a direction.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
i all time positive in my company
Review from Customer Support Dept
The culture is built on **customer obsession**, **ownership**, and **innovation**. Leaders set high standards, encourage bold thinking, and support risk-taking. We benefit from clarity, inclusivity, and open feedback—all in a fast-paced, supportive environmen
In office culture and working with smart, motivated employees
They have contests and giveaways
Review from Product Dept
The culture is terrible. Do not work at Amazon you will be miserable with the culture.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stack ranking needs to be stopped or made open and public so that people know what they are signing up for. Employees should be assessed based on their knowledge and contributions, not the time they spend working. The current culture promotes average employees working excessive hours to meet artific
Start caring about people's health. Promote wellbeing and healthy work habits.
Review from Engineering Dept
I think they need to offer more flexibility and more support for internal movement
Review from Sales Dept
Stop focusing on activities to cya-find ways to grow the buisness
lack of resources should lead to revisit prioritization, but LP "ownership" is used to let you not say "Not my job"
What did you like most about the interview process?
What I appreciated most about the interview process was its clarity and structure. The questions were purposeful, the feedback was timely, and each stage felt respectful and transparent. It made me confident about the role and excited to join the team.

Easy ,fun, happy for all
Review from Customer Support Dept
It was quick and easy
Review from Product Dept
It was a standard Amazon interview.
Review from HR Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The problem is that there are gaping holes in the current process that allows Sr Leaders to bypass the bar raiser mechanisms that are in place to prevent bad hiring. In some cases, the bad leaders have become bar raisers themselves allowing them to backdoor their incompetent pals into the company.
Streamline the interview process by reducing interview rounds
Our bar is lowering, and less qualified interviewers are starting to bleed into decision making. I'm seeing fewer bar raisers actually bar raise and I can't think of the last time one actually used the veto power to say no when others were inclined.
Process is too long, not effective, it seems you are enteri g nasa
Allow fair salary negotiation when hiring.
What makes you most happy at work?
costamar happy and my compiny reting

Working will with other people
Review from Product Dept
My friends make me the happiest.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Company culture needs to shift from competition to collaboration. Management should be held accountable to stop artificial projects that exist solely for them to show impact, build empires, and secure promotions.
Fix the discrimination based on race and sex just so they can say to the world they are diverse. When you hire someone less qualified over someone who is more qualified just so you can say we have 400 blacks, 400 Hispanics, 400 Asians, and 50 white people, that is discrimination.
They need to do a investigative search
Review from Operations Dept
Everything could be improved. Pay is terrible, managment is terrible, favoritism is awful. The hard workers get nothing out of it besides mental and physical stress. Managment literally doesnt care.
Unfair treated of supervisors and employees. Lackluster supervisors & employees are allowed to not improve but more responsibilities are placed on their counterparts. Issues that are addressed professionally are given ear but its irrelevant as no change is done
What do you like best about your company?
That i receive my packages on time.
I love the market position, the future, and the overall attitude towards experimentation and trying out new things.
It's innovative, fast paced, constantly challenging the status quo and takes customers and employees on the journey
Review from Sales Dept
It offers more value to humanity than any other company.
Review from Operations Dept
Name recognition and the fact I am compensated at all
Review from Operations Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
The culture needs to be improved dramatically.
Speed of delivery and prioritization of customers
Too many hurdles to cross before getting to the stage of experimentation. Too may approvals needed.
Pay me more and stop making me jump through hoops
Review from Operations Dept
Replace the leaders with peer mentality; value and insist on diversity of thought through systemic shifts in how decisions are made
