This fake news still going strong I see…

Hasn’t been my experience at all. I worked much harder at my past company compared to my team at Amazon and got paid 1/2. Clearly if Amazon does have teams that have bad WLB and this all isn’t made up whining from PIPers then the entire thing is team dependent.

    How many extra bananas did HR give you to write this crap? Just because you have not experienced it firsthand does not mean that it’s ok to discredit others gripes about the horrible WLB nor is it ok for you to call it a myth. Amazon is a huge company and although there are pockets of teams with great WLB, the general case is that most teams has horrible WLB.

      Also you didn’t respond. You just wrote a bunch of baseless conspiracy crap about anonymous surveys 🙄

      If they didn’t want honest feedback they simply wouldn’t do the surveys dude. Nobody is forcing them to do these.

      Because of your lack of experience, exposure, to other aspects of Amazon you conclude that my argument is baseless? Tell me how many years of experience do you have and what other orgs or teams at Amazon have you worked in? I bet your answer is less than 3 and that’s being optimistic. Go get some experience and come back with your assessment after you have worked on other teams. I hope this is a troll post and if not, I wish the best for your teammates to have someone like you on the team. It’s a matter of time before you’re ‘it’.

    You aren't in the Bay Area or Seattle teams working on AWS. The closer you are to the core AWS, the worse the wlb is.
