Culture varies wildly depending on the specific team and bosses. Overall I’d say not the most laid back company. The concensus is if you don’t want 55h+ every week, don’t go to AWS.
For Amazon as a whole, as much as they may seem like another tech company with a decentralized structure, this is just a dialed down public accounting/ investment banking (where bezos is from). The directors felt miles away and way less approachable than partners in public and whatever those higher ups said gets the highest priority and disrupt your own schedule way more than public accounting does. I miss working in audit where I basically run the show and partners take my advice about prioritization. My life still felt ten times better than in public jus because of fewer unrealistic deadlines and unachievable budgets.
Based on the title on your post, assuming you're a manager now. Did you leave PA as a manager?
