Congratulations! One of my friends there told me that since it is a tech company and they like to handle information, you always have to back your ideas with data.

I absolutely loved working at Amazon, this was a couple years ago now! The team was amazing and we were constantly challenging ourselves to come up with new and innovative ideas. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun while I was there.

I agree. I have heard nothign but good things. I would def give it a go.

In my experience their brand creative and vision is so inconsistent between programs / departments. It’s a mess creatively. Wish they had stronger creative leadership to lead a consistent vision.

I think it has a pretty solid creative dept, and for tech, it's not AS hectic on that side

Hi!

I work as a Sr. Training Coordinator in the L&D team of a company and draw 7.5L per year. My YOE is 8. I don't see many posts about L&D in this bowl or any other bowls for that matter and would like to know if this is apt for the position I'm in currently.

I feel like I'm being paid less. Any input would be appreciated.
