Hi all, As title suggests, im looking at a few PM roles in Amazon and wanted to ask you all for help. Teams: Amazon Go Prime Music Prime Video Amazon Payments Alexa AI - what is the WLB in these teams? - where is Amzon investing the most amongst these teams? (highest chance of growth) - any difference in the kind of interview questions? (i’ve heads its mostly case based questions on the 14 principles) - is there anyone here that is seattle based and working in one of the teams above that I can ping for more direct questions? thank you TC: 140K YOE: 3
In my past i have worked closely with the above mentioned teams like prime music, video, alexa.. they are good teams.. but not gr8 WLB. I have a friend at amazon go who mentioned the work is gr8 but dont have feedback on wlb. Last but not least do not join the amazon payments org.. its the shittiest org.. a couple of female mgr's have hijacked the place. They are doing unbelievable nonesense... some of them dont even have IT or Engg related degrees and are ruling based on politics. I would avoid that place.. but the WLB is pretty good. 😂
Amazon is a top company , how do these non IT managers get in ? During interviews , it gets fairly technical
Unfortunately i am not sure.. they might have got thru some ops or some non tech roles and done and internal move thru connections. There is also a good chance, they might have used a backdoor.. knowing one of the females..from the grp..
Know somebody in Prime Video, and he says the pace is nuts It’s public knowledge that Amazon Go is going to open thousands of stores in the next few years. They have < 50 now I believe. They’re going to be expanding at an insane rate. This might be good for you if you’re looking to get hitched to something big I have heard pretty much only bad things about the Alexa org
