Support Struggles
Users are speaking out about their struggles with AWS support. One user shared their experience:
Over the last month I contacted Support for the first time in many years. This was for a question about how billing works. It went like this; 1. Case created. 2. Unassigned for seven days. 3. Open real-time chat, talk for 25 or so minutes where I guide a first-line Indian chap who plainly doesn’t know about the subject in hand and who is as we talk reading the AWS docs I’ve already read.
Another user expressed frustration with AI-generated responses:
I ignore AI generated text, as I consider it to have no value.
Organizational Changes
Former employees cite organizational changes as a major factor in the company’s struggles. One former employee noted:
I’m also an AWS alumni from many years back now, and truthfully, the organizational problems really took off when Jassy moved to being CEO of amazon as a whole and major leaders left the company.
These changes have led to a shift in the company’s priorities, with a focus on cutting costs and adopting new technologies like AI.
