Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Learning and helping customers with AWS
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
First 2 years were completely disorganised with no one seeming to have any idea what was going on. Communication from management and the apprenticeship team is really poor.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
No organisation and no structure.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Varies a lot depending on who you are dealing with.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The degree is really basic but everyone at the training provider is willing to help and easily reachable
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Doesn't help at all.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Amazon to a friend?
No
Why?
Experience depends a lot/too much on manager. Rare you get written communication, everything is done verbally and end up with double standards.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Amazon?
Practice the leadership principles
