Amazon Robotics reviews

Office space is overly crowded and noisy. The office air quality not good. Restroom smells. Every morning, the daily status report meeting is a very bad management practice. Managers like to call engineers for too many meetings, not much time left for really working on technical task. Too many BS mandatory meetings for engineers, feels waste of time.

AR gives a lot of lip service to promoting the careers of women and I think at one point this was true. Since the female COO left the company things have really changed. There has been a mass exodus of women and there are VERY few women left in technical leadership roles. Women have routinely been referred to by management as "not technical enough" and "not REAL engineers" despite their education, qualifications, and significant contributions to the company. These comments are verbatim and I have heard them used first hand by members of the management team. New positions and opportunities are not posted, rather people are "tapped on the shoulder" for these roles, meaning that women (or anyone else interested) are not able to apply for them. In the most recent reorg, 13 new and expanded roles were announced. ALL of them went to men.
