If you have a family - RUN AWAY - Senior Program Manager Amazon Employee Review

Work life balance. If you have children this is not a company for you. An example of the child-like culture is they have a "bring your parents to work day". My family was having medical issues and management wouldn't budge on working with me and my schedule. In fact, they pushed me harder for deliverables despite the fact I had issues at home that were obviously a priority. Ultimately you will be made to feel you should choose between family and the job. I also found that due to the culture mindset a lot of other companies do not like or shy away from hiring people from Amazon. So while Amazon might seem sexy short term, long term, maybe not so much.
