Is the chatter about bad culture and wlb at Amazon really true? I know it depends on the team, what could be some good teams / areas to be in for better wlb? How bad is the culture?

I’m sure there are areas with good teams with good wlb. Their talent level is also very high.

Those being said, bad culture / wlb is a deserved reputation at least relative to other tech firms. This includes their cloud business which I have the most contact with.

Would ad finance be considered in ad tech? I’m interviewing for a role within Ad finance I hope it’s not that bad 😩

Anyone knows how bad or good supply chain is? Specifically transportation.

Well it’s really variable. Some teams are great and some are terrible. In general, retail tends to be better than the other orgs in terms of wlb BUT promotion cycles are longer since it’s that easy come out with an amazing new product

Ad finance is fine - the finance org has a very different wlb compared to engineering

Ty you just made my morning. Have a splendid day! 😇

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
