I have an offer to serve as a Senior Program Manager at Amazon but I haven’t been able to find information to indicate Amazon has a positive culture that enables a work-life balance. I’m a high performer and not afraid to put in the work when it requires long hours and supporting on-demand priorities but my hope is that the culture is more proactive than reactive. Would anyone have any insight on that? For those who currently work at Amazon — are you happy? Would you do it over again?

I have a couple of friends that left and liked it. I am in the same boat as you. Decided to leave. I’ve heard that if you don’t like your project, it’s easier to switch at Amazon than it is at D.

I’m a Program Manager at AWS there is work life balance. The responsibility falls on you though. Create boundaries and cut off periods.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
