Slowly erosion of culture and benefits - Anonymous employee AWS Elemental Employee Review

Pros

There are some incredibly smart people who work here.

Cons

Slowly I have been asked to work more and more. Nights, weekends, with no real end in sight. Management is absolute chaos. Engineering launched several services last year and worked really hard to support huge streaming events and the company is still getting rid of anything nice they provided for employees: free coffee, massages, snacks, the holiday party, on and on... This company does not care about retaining you. Ever since the acquisition, and especially since Sam Blackman died this company has become less of a Portland start up and more of yet another arm of Amazon.
