"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"

"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."
