Alexa group?

been getting some recruiting requests from Amazon Alexa. How's that working group? how is program management and the team working? Work-life balance?

From the threads on here people in Alexa don't seem very happy. Not in the org myself so can't speak to it directly.

It has become a massive org. It has good and bad parts.

I would stay away from it, too much churn.

I'm in Alexa. There are some really good teams as well as some really bad ones. --as with any large org.

How are the speech and NLP research groups?

Amazon xKy98665 Feb 3, 2017

I haven't heard a bunch of complaints from those areas... so, they are at least not among the very bad areas. Some of the NLU Dev teams, are a different story.
