- The breach is a reminder of the ever-present risks to corporate data security, and companies must prioritize not only their own security infrastructure but also that of any vendors they rely on.
- This incident serves as a wake-up call for businesses to adopt more rigorous cybersecurity measures and ensure that their third-party vendors adhere to strict security standards.
- Moving forward, companies need to prioritize third-party risk management, performing routine security audits on external vendors and ensuring that any software they depend on is frequently updated and secure.

I was laid off from Amazon, rejoined, and quit less than 3 months later. I should've seen the writing on the wall.
- Stephanie Ramos returned to Amazon in 2023 after being laid off in wake of the pandemic but quit in just 11 weeks after realizing Amazon had changed for the worse.
- Initially, she felt Amazon was a great company that valued logic and evidence over status.
- However, upon her return, she felt that Amazon had changed, with a focus on share prices and ineffective leadership, and the innovative, exciting work environment she had previously enjoyed was gone.
- Ramos identified several red flags, such as the interview process lacking empathy, evidence of inconsistent return-to-office policies, a lack of leadership and accountability in her team, and employees seemingly going through the motions.
- She felt that Amazon had too many layers of management and too many ineffective leaders, which created an environment of process obsession instead of customer obsession.
- Ramos resigned from Amazon in 2024, 11 weeks after returning, because she did not trust or respect the company anymore.
- Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan said that Amazon was second on LinkedIn's Top Companies list this year and first in LinkedIn's Top Companies in Technology and Information.
- Ramos writes about life and finance as a corporate escapee and single, child-free woman on Substack.
- If you would like to share your experience working at Amazon, email Jane Zhang at [email protected].
