"The company was founded by an engineer and logic and data are important. If you enjoy data, are a logical thinker, can write well (no PowerPoints, MSWord written reports), and are okay with the flywheel principles of offering wide selection of products, at lowest prices, for convenient/fast delivery -- Amazon may be a good fit for you."

"I worked on a team that was responsible for products sold on the Amazon site. Note that the site operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. As long as you had an internet connection, a laptop, and a cell phone you could work anywhere as long as you got your job done. That being said, you were on call via cell phone all the time. It was important to establish boundaries e.g. respond to text between 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m."

"Amazon is a place where you get out what you put in. It can be hard to compete in a male dominated tech industry especially when women have families or other obligations based on gender norms. 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). "
