Maybe. Amazon was great for my first 4 years in middle management. However, breaking through the glass ceiling into upper management has been challenging to say the least.

Be confident in your ability to handle and navigate workplace politics. Be adaptable to change. Speak up early and loudly, otherwise risk being walked on and/or left behind. If you feel as though you're being bullied by your boss, look for another team or another job as soon as possible because HR rarely stands by those being bullied.

1 2 3 4 5It completely depends on the team and manager. However, teams and managers are constantly in transition. It's possible that a person might be hired by one manager but reorganized another manager within a few weeks of their start date.

One Thing Employer Could Improve
Implement an anti-bullying policy, clarify and simplify reporting pipelines, as well as have a better understanding of team morale at the hands of a bullying boss.
-
Recommend to Women?
Maybe. It would depend on the team. I've heard some teams are supportive where others fall incredibly short. I would only recommend people to Amazon if they were prepared to have a tough run; but also, are very confident in their ability to navigate politics.

Beware of the stress-level and backhanded expectations. People are encouraged to give unsolicited feedback to people's managers.

Lots of opportunities, lots of women in key leadership positions, lots of integrity of workplace culture. Pay is low for everyone at the low paid positions, it is nothing pesonal or gemder specific.

You can use your PTO/vacation if you wish, or take unpaid leave as long as you need. Really good about that.

Better and more standardized training so people are able to hit productivity metrics without undue injury and burnout, thus leading to increase from appalling 90+% 3 month turnover rate and freeing up money to give us a raise from the appallingly low pay. Thus incresing retention and freeing up more money for raises.
-
Recommend to Women?
Maybe. My division in the warehouse is extremely physical and the pay is more like an internship than anywhere close tona livelihood. Great opportunities, if you can survive the brutal workload and low, low pay.

Your leader makes a big difference in your experience at this company.

The company is slowly making a lot of systemic changes when it comes to diversity and inclusion. The review process, however, is very closed door and based heavily on manager input and managers are still primarily male.

Amazon really means it when they want you to take care of their customers. You are given free reign to do just that.
