RTO5 and lack of empathy for employees

Business Outlook
Pros
Work with talented people and on challenging problems.
Cons
Amazon obsesses about RT05 more than anything else and there is no empathy/flexibility even for people who need the WFH flexibility due to health reasons. Every time there is a firing cycle, it’s a bit scary. Promotion from SDE1 to SDE2 is easy. Beyond that it’s really hard. Oncall - depending on the team that you’re in / can be really stressful and impacts work-life balance.
