      "This is a place you need to proactively engage others with your plans for implementing your ideas. You don't need to self-promote until review time, but don't sit back and just share ideas. People will listen to you and readily get behind something good, but you have to make the first move."

      "The paid maternity leave is excellent. Just know you have to work there at least 1 full year to get the full 20 weeks of leave, they are not flexible if you have your baby even 1 day before your work anniversary. You would still receive 14 weeks of paid leave, just not the full 20 weeks."

      "It’s a demanding, high intensity environment. That may work for you and your working style, but limited time is available to build relationships and it’s not a place where you are inherently supported - you must request and sometimes follow up on support. Depending on your role, you may have flexibility but the workload is probably at least 1.5-2x what you’re accustomed to, with limited tolerance for a learning curve. There’s a lot to learn and it is very sink or swim - leaders have referred to this as purposeful Darwinism. "

      "Every team is different. I have seen some that are led by women and have excellent work/life balance, kind and logical leadership, etc., but I am not on one of those teams. If there are very few women on the team, none in leadership, and no working mothers, tread carefully."

      "Definitely depends on your team/manager/peers. Unfortunately I was not lucky to find myself in a supportive team. I’m the only female, had to fight for a fair, uncontestable promotion to be ranked among my male teammates with equal amounts of experience, and struggle everyday to feel valued and listened to. It has gotten harder and more tense since I told my manager I would be taking advantage of the maternity leave benefits."

      "Specifically, I am talking about working at Amazon's corporate headquarters, not a fulfillment center. While I enjoyed my time here (about two and a half years), Amazon has developed a culture that is bizarre and doesn't really focus on people improving in their current positions. They encourage employees to move around and get new jobs in-house after about eighteen months, which means that every department is in a state of constant turmoil and shorthanded. Just as you become good at what you do, you're encouraged to move to a different position, which makes no sense. Additionally, promotions to higher levels are often impossible because of rigidity in the culture. For example, if you are a Level 6 and would like to be promoted to Level 7 based on your work and merit, you can't be promoted unless you have six direct reports. Most of the higher level positions are held by men, and trust me when I tell you that men frequently talk over you in meetings. It's really annoying. Amazon culture also places priority on mechanizing and creating identical processes for everything, which is great if you're creating widgets, but not so great if you want people to be strategic thinkers or come up with creative PR or marketing campaigns. I was let go from Amazon about a year ago, not for cause. I spent five months taking Amazon to court to get my unemployment benefits, which they denied initially because they told Washington State that I quit. I discovered after doing a lot of research that -- because turnover at Amazon is so high -- they actually have a company on retainer whose whole focus is denying unemployment to people who are let go. After two court hearings, both of which no representative of Amazon showed up for, I won my case and was awarded my back unemployment pay. I met some great people at Amazon, many of whom I am still friends with. But the culture is toxic. I wouldn't recommend working there if you are a creative thinker."

      "Within engineering teams, there is a widespread culture of on-call, and high workloads which makes work-life balance challenging. Many teams have 24-hour on call and no policies for accommodating family, parenting or personal needs - it's an individual, case-by-case basis. There can be a tendency to downlevel people during the hiring process, which can lead to women being less senior than comparable male peers."

      "Very dependent on the team you join. In my experience as a woman of color: expect to be talked over, overlooked, under leveled and underpaid. This is the kind of place that talks a big game about diversity but with only white male leadership."

      "They claim to be a diverse company, but it is diverse to a point. They will promote the worst people for the position and tend to promote their friends over qualified people. HR only listens to one side of the story and passes judgment before they know the facts. You could get fired just because someone doesn't like you and they believe them because they are friends with HR or the manager."

      "The managers tend to be tossed around from department to department so they don't get to know their employees. Sometimes they will hire new managers straight out of collage and they walk in thinking they know everything when they know nothing. They don't know how the process works and they don't want to learn from anyone below them that have been doing the job for years. The managers accuse their assistance of making them look bad and get them fired just to make themselves feel better about their shortcomings. "

      "I've had a good experience as a female leader at Amazon. My team actively focuses on hiring and promoting females and un-represented minorities (leaders review metrics regularly in this area). Maternity benefits are great and the Seattle offices have nursing rooms in each building on campus. Work/life balance is fine- you create your own environment and set boundaries. Now over 5 years in, I feel tenured and know my role well. My first couple of years were rough, though. Amazon is a unique environment and you need to have a thick skin. You will have to adapt to the writing culture, meeting culture, and fast-paced environment. There isn't a lot of help with on-boarding ...it's sink or swim. I'm also not a fan of VPs tearing down people in meetings, swearing, and creating lots of churn to feel important. With that said, you learn quickly on what's expected and if you adapt well, you'll go far. "

      "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."

      "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.

There are communities of women working to try to change it, but in 5 years I have worked in on 2 teams that had women in executive leadership positions. Most women in leadership don't seem to be on the Amazon tech side. (more so in AWS). "

      "As someone who has worked at Amazon for the past 5 years i have seen only a handful of women in leadership roles. This company is constantly hiring new college graduates and cycling through them at an astonishing rate, but few are women. I was told from an operations manager that I must not have aspirations of advancing due to being on the "mommy track". Please keep in mind my male coworkers also have children and have not received the same feedback. "

      "Everything depends on the team. I have been fortunate to work on teams where women were strongly represented in leadership positions (all the way through the VP-levels); however, I have heard that more IT/AWS type teams are more heavily male-dominated. Note that all SVPs (except HR) are men at Amazon."

      "It’s very easy to get sucked into working at all hours. It’s also very possible that if you aren’t willing to tip the work life balance scales more in favor of work than life that your coworkers will get promoted faster than you. To a certain extent, Amazon performance assessment policies do encourage competition, so this is something to keep in mind and be prepared for. "

      "You will learn to tolerate being treated like a second-class citizen. Your management will tell you that gender bias doesn’t exist. Honestly, everything about the large tech companies from interview to employment is just hazing masquerading as normalcy. It’s no different here. There’s an obsession with hiring the best of the best. Put 10 socially inept “best” on a team, and you get most teams at Microsoft, Google and Amazon. If the teams were more diverse they would be smarter. It’ll be years before that sinks in. "

The environment is very stressful, the hours are long and demanding, especially during the last 4 months of the year due to the holiday shopping season which affects most of the company. The culture is not a friendly one, often times when you ask for help you will not receive it then you will get bad feedback for not being able to complete something that you never received training on."

      "It really depends on your manager. The company as a whole does a terrible job promoting diversity etc. Compared to other prospective employers in the area, it has the worst maternity leave policy (and no paternity leave policy). The fact that there is 0 paid paternity leave is particularly unfair - how comfortable are you in taking maternity leave, if somene else who has kids get none? My direct manager was amazing, so I had a pretty good experience there, but my boss' boss was from Turkey, and had a very traditional eastern-european approach to childcare (stay at home mom, travel a lot father) and therefore wasn't very supportive to my career. Whenever he came to my area, he spent the entire time talking to another developer (also turkish) in turkish. Amazon is such a mixed bag. As a company, they don't focus at all on any of the things more enlightened companies at least try to focus on (parental leave, diversity and inclusion, work life balance), but depending on your direct manager or your peers, things can be really good there. Or really bad. Also worth noting, there is only 1 nursing room per building (although its pretty nice). During my year of nursing, I was able to get into the nursing room exactly 2 times. There were around 20 lactating mothers in the entire building, each taking 30 minutes or so to do their thing, it was pretty much impossible. All the meeting rooms/offices have transparent doors. I had to bring a sheet, kick my manager out of his office, and hang it up on his door, and pump in there. Terrible."

      "Spent 3 years at Amazon on AWS EC2. I left due to discrimination by my manager, which made my last 1.5 years pretty awful. Lots of being judged differently to others for the same work, got shouted at, told I was whining when I asked for more responsibility. I understand that there are bad managers everywhere, but my poor review comes from the way in which my complaints were handled by senior management. When I first spoke to my skip level manager about how I was being treated, he spoke a lot about how gender discrimination was still a big problem in the tech industry, but did nothing more with my complaint. When I took it to HR, we had a dispute resolution session. I waited more than 6 months for the results. When they came, it was that he had acted inappropriately. The repercussions? He was suggested to do a course about being a better manager if it became available in his location (in the intervening 6 months he'd changed teams and locations). No mention of bias. No mention of any larger problem. Since I left, 3/4 other women in the office of 250 (we were remote) have left citing similar issues. I'd put it down to culture in a remote office, but the senior members were from Seattle (and so was my awful manager). I learnt a lot of things while there, great operational experience, but man, I took a beating too."

      "Amazon is largely male-dominated, and so at times, it can definitely feel isolating being one of the few women in the office (only 12% are women in my organization). Also, from my experience, team events can often gear towards male interests, and I feel that the upper management does not see supporting diversity in tech as a priority. There has been many times when a letter to the upper management regarding better environment for women employees goes unheard. As well, (unsurprisingly) it is not uncommon to see unconscious bias in the office and insensitive comments coming from male coworkers. The good thing is, there is a very large and supportive community for women in engineering, where such topics are discussed. Employees also have the chance to attend many events, like the Grace Hopper Conference. It is just that, oftentimes, it can feel like mostly everyone who cares are women. And so we don't see improvements to the workplace as quickly as other companies."

      "Being a technology company, employees and managers are naturally men-heavy. Given how smart the employees are, it's surprising there isn't more structural support for (new) moms. For starters, they need to catch up on giving more generous maternity (and paternity) leave. They should also take tips from moms and turn them into standard expectations/ policies: returning/ starting with part-time work after maternity leave, having a new mom mentor, etc."

      "I see women at Amazon from front desk associates to Senior VPs (although there are far more men in high ranking roles than women over all, at least half of the senior leaders I support are women). Amazon is making leaps and bounds to increase diversity, especially in terms of adding female leaders to the tech work place. There are multiple teams dedicated to the recruitment of female employees and Amazon has set its goals high in terms of diverse hiring goals for the next few years. My work life balance has been wonderful so far (about 8 hours a day MAX) and I am constantly reading and partaking in in-depth discussions on the quality of life for women here in our Women @ Amazon affinity group and how to grow and improve. Amazon has even incorporated bias training into their interviewing practices so that every Hiring Manager and Interviewer considers subconscious biases they may have coming into the interview (an example would be women coming across as "abrasive" in an interview where as a man would come across as showing backbone) I would highly recommend the company to anyone, regardless of gender and feel women have the just as much opportunity for professional growth as men."

Other than me, my last group consisted of 11 men and 1 woman (who was hired into an entry-level position). Every new hire was a white, straight, man between 28-35...exactly like the director. Very disappointing. My group now is the same gender mix, but very different vibe. Everyone has a voice and the dialogue is very open."

      "I have worked here for almost 3 years and there are a lot of women here. The women that are the highest level are over HR and Learning. Normal "female" roles. Since I work in the Facilities department, it has been somewhat difficult being a woman. Just yesterday one of the techs made a disparaging remark about what I could possibly know about a subject that is dear to me. It is nice that we have a room available for nursing mothers, and the leave offered is great. However, moving up does not seem to be offered very easily to women. In fact, I have been more relegated to a typical "female" role since I have been physically relocated to the locale of the male "leaders" of the FC. Will you go fetch lunch, and is there fresh coffee. wow..."

And while the company talks the talk about focusing on diversity, within orgs and management it's not discussed. When bringing it up with a manager there's lip service but no understanding; and more importantly no action to make changes."

      "I have been at this company for 4.5 years. Finding the right team is important. Finding a team with interesting work, growth opportunities, and a supportive environment can be very difficult though. Especially if you work in digital products (ie Android and devices). A lot of the service and website teams tend to have better work-life balance, especially the teams that have been around longer. There are plenty of orgs where almost all of the employees (50+) are younger men and there might be one woman. Of those people, very few (if any) know how to be an ally to women. On the other hand, some orgs are almost 30% women. The more interesting projects can be very competitive and require you to put in 10+ hours a day, but most managers allow you to be flexible with those hours if needed (ie only work nights or work from home). On some teams, I have noticed that people complain more about women who use flexible hours and don't care that men do it, but that probably happens everywhere. Some managers will call employees on the double standard, some will ignore the feedback, and others might use it as a negative point against you (I have seen all of these scenarios). Teams that are mostly younger employees tend to be the ones that work ridiculous hours (it is also where you will most likely find brogrammer culture), I would recommend avoiding them if possible. Amazon has the concept of the "fungible" engineer, which means they will put 5 newer SDEs on a high priority project with no experience in the technology and expect something production-worthy in 8-12 weeks. After the deadline, almost everyone leaves, there will be no documentation and a team of mostly new people with one senior person will be created to 'fix' it. Stay away from these teams if you value your time. If you survive it is great, but if you fail, it is easy to become a scape goat. Voicing complaints can be hard without being labelled "whiney" or having little "bias for action" or worse, having people vehemently disagree that there is a problem and disregarding your experience. While the company recently revamped their SDE job level criteria to make promotion less mysterious, a lot of management still treat those criteria it as "up to interpretation" and will either be very vague about what they are looking for or treat certain criteria as more important than others. Having clear promotion conversations with your manager is a must, and in some cases you might realize that you need to switch teams. I would recommend having this sort of conversation before even committing to a team."

      "I been with the company 3 years. I have anxiety and when i was on the brink of an attack i went down to amcare. When i got there i was sent back to my department because it wasnt work related and at this time i was pregnant. I had an attack and was sent home but all could've been avoided because i just needed to sit down and breathe. I was taking out of work in January and stayed out until april due to the company giving me the run around about my return. I had my child in May and didnt return until August not because of doctor request the company again gave me the run around about returning. If you use all you personal, vacation and upt and there is an emergency or you have to be out of work for any reason other then for yourself you are up for termination if a personal leave is not requested which is unpaid. You can have a sick child take them to the doctor and have a excuse present it will not be accepted as they dont accept doctor excuses of any kind."

The work is scrappy and is endless - which is why its important to set boundaries & stick to them. There are many ways you can make an impact & take on special projects, but it can be difficult to prioritize with daily/weekly demands. I enjoyed being surrounded by smart people that take ownership. Flat leadership structure means lots of lateral moves, and not many upward promotions - which is something that takes getting used to."

      "I worked here for over 4 years and had good and bad experience. I think the way that promotions are done (you have to initiate your own promotion), the fact that reviews are stack ranked and the overall culture of aggressiveness was a deterrent to my success and enjoyment. It is heavily male dominated; I think only about 10% of the tech side is women. However, I know that there are efforts in place to change the way promotions are done, to create a training course on how to be an ally, to improve the way reviews are handled so to avoid unconscious bias. When I worked there, I felt like there were people that cared but upper management wasn't bought into making changes but it sounds like maybe they are now."

As far as holidays go, your entering a business that sells Online... people like your family members want there items they ordered so people like us work holidays to get the product to them. This yr amazon gave us christmas off and delayed time so we could enjoy thanksgiving. They also give as plenty of pt,upt and vaca, it is our responsibility to use it wisely and we get it every other week and upt every 3 monthes cant beat that."

      "I have worked for Amazon for over 3 years, and it took me those 3 years to get a promotion. It is no different then men, my position (Process Assistant) and the associates get treated equally gender wise. There are definitely more male managers than female managers, no doubt. From my experience all races, genders, etc are treated equally."

      "I transferred from a department that was highly male-dominated and did okay there. Since I was one of the old-timers there, I was well respected and no one would unreasonably question any input I provided. It really is a mixed bag here at Amazon. Sometimes you are lucky to join a fantastic team with stellar management. Other times, you are expected to grind away for 16 hours a day on projects and other work with no acknowledgement for your hard work. Something isn't right with the overall model though if there is such high turnover and you're considered and old-timer if you last over a year (I've been here longer than that though). I wouldn't recommend this company as much to moms who really want to concentrate on their families unless you are hired under a director who has young children as well and can relate."

      "I worked here for 5 years. The pre-kids years were ok because I could work long hours, moved around and got good opportunities/experience, and I felt like I was learning. Once I had kids my priorities shifted, I set boundaries and decided not to put in long hours anymore. Even though I was working more efficiently and getting the same amount of work done, I think this caused my career to stagnate. I was viewed as someone who was not on a promotion path, and was not challenged/learning anymore. Management is male-dominated (Jeff Bezos has zero female direct reports) and maternity leave is bare minimum required by law. Turnover is high, particularly among women, especially women having kids."

Also, there is very much a "gotcha" culture where making someone look bad in front of others is encouraged and a sign of "intelligence"."

      "I've worked here for 3 years and there are a lot of women working here, but predominantly in support roles. Generally I believe they are treated fairly but management is male-dominated and not diverse, which makes it tougher for women to "network" with them. Mid-level women don't seem to advance because of these subtle issues. Also, while maternity leave is generous here I think women are judged harshly by some colleagues and managers for taking the full time."

      "I have worked here for almost 2 years. I have worked for two managers, both male, but both very equitable to both genders. I have 3 kids (the youngest is now 5) and have always had the flexibility to take care of the kids if they are sick, or even leave work for school events. In addition, my team and my organization have clear and well-defined initiatives to make sure we have better gender equality. (despite the fact that in technology the bias is usually male.) I realize that Amazon is a very large company, but there really are great managers, organizations and divisions to work for there. I put my children & family first, but have never had to choose while working at Amazon. The culture is changing there and I wish more people would give it a chance."

They say you get 2 15 minute break but given a ten minute breaks because they want you to use the use the other 5 minutes to walk to and from your station and break room. which is ridiculous because not only that five minutes "walk" should not be taken out of your right to have your full 15 minutes break, it takes more than 5 to and from the break room some people because it depends on where you are stationed at in the warehouse"

      "There aren't any women in the senior leadership team. Roles that are overwhelming male (engineers) are often valued more than retail roles such as vendor managers, buyers, or program managers. Promotions are heavily weighted on vague leadership principles which tends to favor the Ol' Boy network. There is an active women@amazon elist where discussions of gender inequality are discussed. However, there seems to be very little done at the leadership level about the gender and racial disparities. Amazon is one of the few tech companies that won't release detailed breakdowns of male/female job titles and salaries, and there is a reason for that."

Find a good boss who understands your situation is a key but this company moves very quickly and frequent reorgs make it hard to stick to one boss you like and finally found."

      "It's a very cut-throat environment that doesn't have a lot of benefits. I've seen many men and women alike put in their all, and get thanked with a raise as small as 1%. The good ones are lucky to get a raise of 4%. This is a company for people who just love working hard for the sake of working hard. There is very little personal development or return on good work. You really have to fight, kick, and scream for any promotions/raises."
