Amazon Culture

I've heard from multiple connections that the work culture (for software engineers) in Amazon India is very demanding, with almost no work-life balance. Is that true? is it the same even in Amazon offices outside India? Or do they fair better because of the social structure there which inherently advocates for work-life balance?

Amazon seems to be one of the worst employers out there. Many friends in Amazon have similar stories. Not a good workplace culture.

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

Hi Guys, I got a decent offer from Amazon this week. When i am searching on multiple review sites like Glassdoor etc, about working culture at Amazon, i am hardly getting any positive reviews? Can somebody pls share insights so that i can take switching decisions accordingly?

Any PMs here from Paypal? I wanted to know about the culture and how often you work till late hours for meetings with your US counterparts. At what time does your day end normally?

Something seems fishy. A lot of fundraise, 200Mn+ App seems very basic for that. And I just see romantic content on it. It’s a bit tough to believe they’re doing so well, why wouldn’t people pay for better stuff in that category? Is this really a thing?

How is the Amazon gurgaon office like I heard there are only 2-3 teams and they all have a bad work life balance ?

So basically the title. European countries like are flirting with the idea of 4 days work week and here at India we have people like Narayan Murthy who is suggesting youngsters to work for 70 hours per week and many people are supporting him including one politician from Congress. I mean why is it so? It makes my blood boil and it's motivating me everyday to leave this country and get a job at some European nation.
