Hi all,
I'm considering a move to amazon for a Sr. PM role supporting Sort Centers (recruiter said I got the job but waiting on offer). I am however very nervous about the culture. I've done a lot of research and it seems like most people have a negative experience. I also know that generally people who post are the ones who are unhappy.
Do any of you have positive amazon experiences to share? A time when your manager supported you through a difficult personal time? Or when you were promoted or given a raise for completing a project? How about WLB? Does anyone enjoy an average 40-45hrs a week with free weekends? #culture #officelife #workplace

It’s like joining any massive company - it really comes down to which org, team, management, etc. You have to remember Amazon and AWS are massive - of course there will be a few unhappy people complaining online. It’s entirely possible to switch teams and move around at Amazon.
I work on a very high performance team - i would say I work no more than 45 hours a week unless I’m doing it intentionally(usually tinkering on the weekends). I find that it is a lengthy process to get promoted at Amazon however absolutely doable. I was assigned a mentor to essentially start helping with that process on day 1. I think the one thing I’ve found stressful but REALLY cool is Amazons ownership culture. I’ve been able to come into some MASSIVE projects and take complete ownership. I asked for it and got it. Stuff I’ll get to brag about the rest of my life. But it’s the stress of having a baby haha I think Amazon is an awesome company to experience working at. It’s high speed and intense in the right ways. It will accelerate your career. I wouldn’t want to try to make Amazon the company I retire at.
So that it would be great help for folks who want to join .
Because its tough to find good teams
