I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

How is the Business Operations (BO) team at ZS?
Particularly at AC level.

3. Any on-site opportunities?
4. How are other perks at the organisation? (Apart from fixed pay)

Any advice on moving from L4 to L5 in Amazon?
