Amazon Advertising?

Feb 8, 2021 18 Comments

Hi all,

So I’ve been getting emails from a recruiter at amazon advertising (for an engineering position).

I’ve been reluctant to respond because, as many are aware, there are a lot of rumors floating around about amazon WLB. From being on blind and asking around, seems like amazon has good/bad teams, and some are better than others.

I was wondering where Amazon advertising fits here? How is WLB at advertising specifically? Anything else I should know about this team specifically? Also, what kind of comp could I expect out of an amazon offer with 3.5 YOE on this team (accelerated associate track, idk if that matters though)?

    SSPA is bad! Leadership is not good.

    I am in Ads (Not SSPA). Wlb is good for the past 4 years. Recently i got busier. Maybe because I am preparing for promotion or maybe the new VP is pushing harder.

    I just accepted an offer at Amazon Ads (performance) my recruiter was amazing and nice and everyone I interviewed with in the team was awesome. If I had ONE bad vibe I would have turned down. I say take the interview and scope out the team, it really is all about the vibe and the hiring manager. Forget about the rest!
