Interviewed with Alexa team recently and expecting an offer. However, entire team was Indian including HM and I guess skip level HM. Plus, everyone in the team was new (joined within a year). No L6 in Bay Area! Is this a red flag?
No offense but last team I worked with full Indians, my WLB took a hit. Was asking in that sense. Team full with Indian or Chinese had worse WLB than a diverse team, they are brilliant and I don't have problem with anyone. Was asking as WLB perspective
Lol. None taken considering that this is an anonymous forum. Btw that grammar is another red flag. Hope your work emails are not structured that way.
Compared to other businesses the Bay Area is a newer area for Amazon. We havenât traditionally hired in this region a lot until recently. The fact that there isnât an L6 isnât super surprising. But from what I am hearing in my org (not AWS) we will be doing even more hiring in the bay next year. As far as the Indian thing...idk what to say about that. And just because thatâs all you interviewed with doesnât mean that makes up the whole team. Could have just been who was available that day
Judging a team based on the race of the team members is a red flag.
