    For corporate: it is fast-paced, ambiguous, comes with a lot of autonomy and a lot of scope. This also means it has a to-do list that is impossible to finish. This seems bad, but is actually fine so long as you are comfortable setting and sticking to boundaries for your own personal balance. No one other than maybe your manager will tell you to do this. However, as long as you prioritize effectively to cover the most important tasks Amazon is pretty flexible on hours/work-style. The autonomy does extend to managers as well which means they make or break your experience even more so than in other companies. Be sure in any interview that you find out who the manager is and proactively ask them to save time at the end (which they are supposed to do anyways) to answer your questions (which you should write down and bring with you) about management style, team dynamic, and expectations (for example if you want to WFH one day a week, be sure they are ok with that). Ask a team member too.
