Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)
January 1970
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.

There is a lot of variation by team, so be direct in vetting the team you are interviewing with.

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.

As above, I don't think this employer is biased against women I think it's more biased against people who are introverted and want to be rewarded based on skills rather than connections. As a woman, you have to be a strong character who will stand out against both men and women in order to do well.

Recommend to Women?
Maybe. It's a great place for women to work, however, women who are more extroverted and (seemingly) confident will progress much faster.

1 2 3 4 5My department tolerates my need for a flexible schedule, but I don't think it's overall the feeling at the company to allow for flexibility for working parents.

It's not a terrible place to work. The people are smart and the pay is great but you can burn yourself out due to overwork.

Well I won't just speak for women. However, I can say in general those who have children or other jobs this may not work. It's not all it's cracked up to be with balancing time between your kids and work.

1 2 3 4 5There isn't much flexibility your blindsided and tricked into departments and shifts though you may have requested something different. They could have originally claimed to accommodate that schedule. Yet when you start can be given something very different and are expected to work said schedule.
