Does Amazon allow remote work for it’s employees permanently? I am going to join Amazon, but due to personal problems I may not be able to relocate for good to Seattle. I am thinking to work for only 6 months to 8 months and would like to explore my options for remote work. I do not want to miss the oportunity to work at Amazon. Hence I do not want to ask my recruiter or my HM about the possiblity of remote work even before joining.
Are there any specific teams in Amazon that allow remote work?
If Amazon does not allow remote work then which other companies could possibly allow it’s employees working remotely?

I remote work 100% of the time... As do most of my team, but we're spread all over the world.
Other managers won't allow it at all.
Would they allow after 3 years?
That said once you "earn trust" with most managers it can be easy to start easing into remote work. But that's not a guarantee.
PE is a high level role that most people don't reach, and managers make plenty of special considerations for PEs, so I wouldn't really count this in your evaluation. The whole PE and higher role is very choose your own adventure.
Also personally I prefer to stay with the team and work closely with the team for sometime.
