A bunch of Googlers who used to work at Amazon are internally sharing horror stories about their former employer's 'frupid' and aggressive culture
Frupidity often arose when employees wanted approval for better work devices. One person, who left in 2020, said they had to justify getting an Apple MacBook at work. By default, product managers received subpar Windows laptops and weren't eligible for Apple devices, this person wrote.
"Pretty frupid to save $200 on something that could increase the productivity of an engineer you were paying six figures to," this person wrote. "Eventually, we got told, 'Spending a couple hundred bucks on cereal isn't frugal. You are free to solicit donations to try and keep it running,'" one of the people wrote in the email thread.
One person who recently joined Google, after 15 years at Amazon, said the pace and general helpfulness and respect she's observing at her new job were a"real breath of fresh air." Going to Google from Amazon was a"culture shock," another person wrote, because it's OK to play the new-employee card for the first few months on the job.
