Amazon

In my experience, working for an EU-based team leads to much better visibility, project opportunities, and work culture.

I'm transferring to an Amazon EU-based organization now and am super happy to go back to a more positive and healthy work environment.

Watch out for promises of working in a "world wide team"!

As soon as my organization switched to "world wide," it became managed by North American leadership, which was extremely toxic.

• They don't respect EU working hours, and you will work super late.
• They don't respect EU projects and will always go with the North American tool or solution, even rebuilding from scratch rather than considering an EU solution.
• They were insanely frugal, even refusing to pay for us to get AWS certified.

Just watch out because in interviews, they sell the worldwide orgs as having a greater impact and better visibility, but I have experienced quite the opposite.
