"It depends greatly which manager you are under, but there is a growing culture in some groups of flexibility, including working remotely as needed or having flexible hours around family or personal needs. This should be brought to their attention early. I would also say this flexibility is more for senior positions, but could be applied to others depending on role and responsibilities."

"Hard work, like a robot. Must use Unpayed Time Off or your paid time off to cover sick days as they offer none. If you exceed your UTO you can and will be fired."

"I have flexibility on my team, but I've spoken to countless women at Amazon who do not. So again, it is (unfortunately) very difficult to give a review that will be helpful because it varies so greatly. I encourage applicants to ask very direct questions of the manager about things like WFH policies.
From a corporate level, there is no official policy for WFH or job flexibility. Most teams do not give much flexibility if any at all. Many still require on call for new parents. "

"Parental benefits are good, but has some major problems. Parental leave (not maternity leave) is only offered after 1 year tenure. It also pauses your vesting schedule. This creates a culture where men rarely take it. They also have ZERO grey area for the 1 year tenure, even if it is missed by 1 day. "
Would you recommend Amazon to other women?
"Maybe"
