How is product management at Amazon?

Question

I' curious on the turnover rate and culture? How is it for Group/Senior PMs

projectpossible · Accepted Answer

I really love my job. I get a lot of autonomy and I have a solid relationship to engineering. I talk to customers, do discovery work, have some level of responsibility tracking business metrics, etc. Not too often you see PMs getting involved in the full product life-cycle. I work with PMMs to look at marketing as well since that directly impacts the success of our projects. Can't speak for all teams but it's a rewarding experience if you can get in.

Amazon’s leadership principles run deep, and I’ve always been amazed by the fact that so many people, in an organization as huge as this, can live and breathe the same ideas all the time and pretty consistently too. Needless to say, it's a very rewarding experience

PMs in AWS get tons of ownership. Usually the product org is pretty small so in some cases you have products where a single PM is owning a product with tens of millions in revenue. That's pretty exciting to work on. Although I'm not a PM I work closely with a bunch. That said, with ownership comes responsibility. They do have a ton of meetings and generally I think have to put in a lot of work.

Any insight from Amazon Sr pms on if Sr PM hiring will pick up next year? Went through multiple rounds for sr pm/pmm roles there and had jobs fall apart due to shrinking HC.
