Hi guys, has anybody heard anything about Amazon at Tokyo(likely Alexa team). Wage, WLB, transfer to US, etc.
Monitoring
I know ppl who worked there and worked to get out soon as possible. Pay compared to seattle is lower for same level considering cost of living.
Isn't Japan also infamous for awful WLB? Amazon + Japan sounds like a nightmare...
Now imagine Rakuten (Japan's Amazon equivalent) + Japan
I’ve been to the JP office for business 5+ days trip, people on Alexa team have very good WLB, perhaps better than Seattle. Pay cut is about 30% less than Seattle.
WLB is better for internationalized teams (usually those that need more engineers) bu more similar to Japan conditions for Japanese dominant teams (like sales/marketing/localization). Total vacation time and holidays in Japan is actually more (35+ days) than in the US Amazon (15+ days) but Japanese dominant work environments are prone not to use as much.
