Has anyone heard of the troubles of the Amazon business org? The business itself has potential but I’m hearing rumors that the org is a black hole. Any thoughts?

    The tech work has lots of away team work if you end up in many teams. Some teams have good work. SDEs (2-3) & SDMs(6-7) get promoted a lot. 20+ SDE IIIs are there in overall org. It’s a 9-5 or 10-6 job - haven’t worked outside office hours in the last one year. Tickets - check out the individual team - overall it’s low.
    If you are able to find a tech team with decent stack within AB, good potential to grow else you will leave out of boredom. The pace is much slower than rest of Amazon and has good work life balance. Good for married folks, folks with kids, someone who is burnt out but want to recoup their energy for couple of years!

      Thanks for sharing. Amazon business sounds good team to work from your comment. However, I saw couple of really bad review comments for AB. Not sure which one’s right

    Like a place that is organizationally messed up and doesn’t have clear strategy and people are mostly unhappy

      I can agree with this. Pivot every other week or so, qbr is researched and quarterly ‘insights’ derived days before. Have yet to see roadmap for any product. Currently reacting to deep dives from other teams from multiple channels with ridiculously short deadlines. Team just released their tenants about 2 months ago, been here since beginning of the year. I’m dotted line to the team, not underneath directly. I work for 2 teams and cringe when I get a B2B request

    Agreed with above comment. It can be a very toxic org primarily driven by some individuals from senior leadership. Attrition seems to be very high.
