You need to be able to stand up for yourself, be willing to call out men for repeating your ideas, speak up at the table, figure out what you need to take a stand on and what you need to let slide, and be ready to work hard. Carefully vet the group you are going to and the manager and skip manager.

It depends on the job, the manager/org, the level and desire to be promoted (and at what speed), and how much backbone you have.

Its a good job but you have to be able to put up with childish coworkers and managers who still think they are in high school clicks and bullies.

Reduce the "young boys club". Fitting into what they rho k a good employee looks like is very prevalent. Young, white males are praised. Fitting in to the clique is more important than delivering results. Challenge their group think paradigm.

If you want to have a baby, great! The maternity leave is awesome (paid for five months). If you already have a family, or once you get back from leave, good luck! Don't expect any special treatment; your hours and travel won't change.

1 2 3 4 5Hours and travel are sometimes flexible, and at other times, non-negotiable. Great maternity leave, but don't expect to work less than 12 hour days during the week...and possibly weekends, too. Brutal environment.

Amazon has managers, so if you find a good one stick with him or her. Generally the company rewards leaders for business results even if they are not good people managers/leaders.

Terrible promotion process, this requires a ton of work on managers and most people that do get promote (esp. at higher levels) pretty much push their managers and manage the political process of gathering support. This does not help women get promoted at same rate, as most women will only push their managers to that extend when they are way overdue for promotions.
