Amazon Program Manager II reviews

Their method of success relies on hard working employees giving up extra time/energy to make sure products launch, rather than investing in the appropriate rescuing to ensure products launch at a high quality bar. Amazon will always ask you to do more than your share, a la the 'Ownership' and 'Deliver Results' LPs.

-Expect to work 50-60 hours a week if you want to succeed -Poor work/life balance -High turnover rate, don't be surprised if you have 5 different managers you report to in the span of a calendar year -Due to high turnover and the high likelihood of management not backfilling, expect to take on other people's roles & responsibilities along with your own -Amazon expects you to be a self-starter and self-sufficient, if you are not then you will be viewed as a low performer -Expect projects/initiatives that your team has worked on for months/years to abruptly be stopped and thrown in the trash in favor of another project/initiative that leadership would like to work on, so don't get emotionally attached to your work -Employee feedback is usually never addressed with actionable steps
