There is a lot of talk about Amazon and WLB and that it depends on what team you're on. However, there isn't a thread that specifically states those teams.
If you currently or previously worked for amazon:
1) What was/is your role
2) What was/is your team
3) What was/is your level
4) What was/is your WLB like?

EVP asking this?

like

There is a lot of context behind any title, including EVP. I certainly wouldn’t be applying for an EVP within Amazon and sometimes people are looking for a career change.
Either way, I see a trend of people continuing to regurgitate the same Amazon advice but no where that this information is backed up with specifics.

It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
