Amazon

"I started here when my kids were in grade school. The flex time works well to be able to pick them up and do after school activities. I can also work from when I need to. My immediate team is about 1/2 women and I see people getting treated fairly. But I think it depends on your group and wouldn't say that is true for all of Amazon."

"there are some woman who get treated the right way but i'm sure that is just so they have someone on their side in a law suit.if you were to walk in there and take a look all you would see is young people in high paying positions and they don't need experience they are mostly men.age discrimination is a very big issue here."

"It is a "boys club" type of company. One woman has recently made it in the top management and this info made it in the news, though the news failed to mention she was the only woman, and the first to make it there. In most meetings, I am one of only two-three women out of 20 people in the room. All positions above my level are men only. You don't get above my level if you don't work 12 hours days constantly."

"There are far fewer women in the tech orgs than the non-tech (retail) orgs. You can do well, but it's hard to balance family and work when almost no one around you is a primary caregiver for children (and thus are able to work late at a moment's notice or over the weekend). You come across as inefficient if you don't do the same."

"Be prepared for no structure at all, the company is hugely innovative but it is literally survival of the fittest. You will have to be extremely assertive and no one will be there to help you navigate."
