For corporate: Outside of the usual inherent bias found everywhere no. Amazon is making earnest efforts to improve this with a new and improved diversity and inclusion team created around 2016/17. I have been impressed with their efforts and have seen noticeable change from my first 2-3 years with the company. However, it is a mixed bag that depends on org/manager so be sure to question any hiring manager carefully and ask for the team's female breakdown. If the breakdown is below the general population in the field ask why. Teams are often inherited so while it isn't a red flag it is a yellow. If they are at or above the avg for the field you're usually good but to be safe either way I would ask to speak with a woman on the team.

From the perspective of structural inequality that is ingrained in all of society, yes. However, Amazon in the past 2 years has been making a concentrated effort to improve this through learning materials and conferences teaching about inclusion/diversity for employees to better learn how to combat ingrained behaviors that lead to these differences. Amazon also has the policy to no longer ask about pay history when hiring to prevent perpetuating wage gaps.

The majority of tech roles is filled by males. Amazon is making progress, but still has a long way to go regarding equal treatment and internalized sexism.

In my experience at a fulfillment center, the performance expectations and development opportunities are exactly the same for all leadership roles, regardless of gender.

Most roles tend to attract more males than females, but I don't feel they're treated any differently.

No, but the aggresive competitive nature of the workplace is perfectly suited for strong female leaders
