Amazon hires very inexperienced managers. This is unusual among top-tier companies.

OP can maybe comment or correct (btw Congrats on making the jump, OP!) but given the business/operations language this might be the Ops Manager ladder, on which there is an entry-level manager position. IMO interesting, and cool if it works out for everyone.

(trivia, Amazon is listed as having 840k employees, I knew it was high of course, but wow)

This is very interesting! So by getting the job you get the valuable experience of managing 50+ people, but the trade-off is that you are expected to works shifts, stay on your feet for more than 12h, if needed to physical work, and be willing to relocate.

I understand why they will have a hard time finding experienced managers for this, but it is also a great opportunity for newly graduated young people who are serious about getting in to management.
