I just laid myself off from Amazon too after 2+ years. I just couldn't take the janky-as-shit internal tooling, the myriad pointless/redundant meetings, and pointlessly stressful and toxic work environment anymore.

Also, I enjoyed my first two managers at Amazon, but my third manager was a tool, which is a systemic problem at Amazon.

I'm glad to have Amazon in the rearview mirror of my career.



I am seeing a lot of hate on the internal tooling. Can you elaborate on that a bit more?
