During an interview with Amazon I was told the role is 5 days in the office with zero flexibility - is this true that they do not offer any remote days? Trying to understand how they’re attracting high talent when their pay is below average and they don’t offer any remote to support better work life balance? Wondering how many of their current employees are happy!

I declined their offer for the very reason that they were not flexible in working from home.

While I disagree that pay is below average, Yes, overall morale is poor given the forced RTO5. Leadership has been explicit with candidates retracting their apps but we are still filling in new roles

Just Google “Amazon RTO”, they’ve been very open about their recent decision to require 5 days in the office.

I dont know about that for absolute sure. However, I was interviewed last week by the recruiter ( first screen) and she was at home. So I guess its not completely true. In any case, I have my one hour phone screen with the hiring manager tomorrow. I am trying to prepare my stories but they changed the job description from what I applied for to a role where I really dont have the main requirement ( private pricing, financial modeling). This is where I am having a struggle preparing my stories. Ill do the best I can but I really dont want to be in the office 5 days a week. I have not been in office since 2011. Other than that it seems like a great role that I am very interested in.
