Currently interviewing with an Amazon subsidiary. Can I expect to have career progression potential as well as typical “FAANG” perks while working for an Amazon subsidiary?

Yes. I’m at Amazon and I know many that work at a subsidiary. I would leverage the subsidiary as a gateway into the company. Amazon is one of the only tech companies that actually supports its employees jumping business units to business. You can join in via Ring, transfer into AWS, and then leave and join Prime Video all in 12mo. This is totally normal at Amazon, which is also why teams just work around attrition as opposed to dealing with the core of problem.

Thanks for the tip! The company I’m applying for is Whole Foods. It’s great to know there’s potential to switch business units down the road

Depends on how long Amazon has owned and integrated them into their business model. One Medical? Unlikely. Whole Foods? Better but not the same level

Whole Foods

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
