Amazon perks for employees

I’m going to join in Seattle soon. Does amazon pay for gym ? How about amazon prime membership. Also Is there any employees forum for posting classifieds (I’m looking for roommates)

No, no and no. We are frugal 😂

No perks except free bananas. There are some nice corporate discounts though. Various local gyms, 30% off Bose and Sennheiser products, etc. Edit: I guess the recent $160/month for ride-sharing is a perk too

I saw that in offer letter. So this 160 bucks can be used towards bus 🚌

Amazon TheAmazone Apr 22, 2019

Well you're already given an Orca card so bus/ferry/light rail is free wherever you go. This reimbursement is specifically for LyftShare and UberPool to get to and from work

At least the classifieds should be possible. That doesn’t cost anything 😀

Amazon has an email list. forsale@amazon.com, where most of the people post such stuff.

Come to forsale for the deals, stay for the snark

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but there is a discord channel mostly of interns and new grads where a lot of people are looking for roommates.

It’s intern season already?

Feel free to take another banana. When your parents visit they can each grab their own banana too.

Well your comment explains why they have that policy

Banana is more of a Seattle downtown perk though. It's not limited to employees. Anyone on the street near a banana stand can grab one.

Like stealing?

Microsoft shambu Apr 22, 2019

If you did a quick Google search, you'd know it's called a "community banana stand" and Amazon on its official website tells "We welcome everyone to come by and enjoy a banana; you don't need to be an Amazon employee."

We get 3 meals per day and paid gym or free massages.
