No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
At Amazon everything is about truth seeking, productivity, and getting stuff done. At VMware it’s a culture of babying, stalling, throwing wrenches in things with silly ideas, making tiny details into mountains, and horrible prioritization. Could understand if this happened on the front lines but I’...Read more
seriously what's stopping ?? I see many recruiters messaging me , on working in some new domain areas. Sometimes I found the description of the role very lucrative, but then I see amazon comp on top of that, its culture, yuck with reputation.

I have signed offer from AWS for SDE2 role. I’ve been reading about PIP at AMZN and sounds scary. I am looking for honest insights about PIP How often does PIP happens? Not everyone can be top performer, does average performers also get PIPed? Is there a target set for every team that certain perc...Read more
I feel like Amazon has a blunt culture with no regards to how people feel which may offend people. So when someone senior suggests something to do, junior engineers cry because they feel offended which is perceived as toxic even if the suggestion is a valid suggestion Is this toxic or just blunt cu...Read more
I have been working in Amazon for a year in PXT and I cannot speak enough of this culture. It’s probably one of the worst places I have been worked at. I am currently thinking of quitting because my mental health is highly affected and my health in general isn’t the best after joining this place. Ac...Read more
As a manager, I found this extremely concerning, and the dude expects people to pay for his newsletter??? WTF! Is this how managers at Amazon treat people?
** from the Amazon blind channel ** Lets just be clear... if you sock up like a vacuum to your manager and skip and make it out of Focus then you have a target on your back. Its on the Amazon permanent record and internal hiring managers will not be interested and your comp prospects are hit and pr...Read more
I hear horror stories about the Amazon culture with people running out of meetings in tears and competition between engineers with monthly layoffs of you weren't performing enough. What is the reality at amazon working as an engineer?

Can someone actually describe the Amazon work culture? What is so bad about it? Are there any good teams? TC 0 noob
Do other faangs have better culture than Amazon, id like to stay in faang for high tc but don’t want to deal with the toxicity of a working environment (like Amazon with heavy on call and non friendly env)
I'm seeing that both Amazon an Wayfair are lower rated companies on Blind. I have completing offers with Wayfair's total comp being approx $15k higher, but also heavier on RSUs. Wayfair would require relocation to Boston rather than staying in NYC. Anyone worked at both companies to compare work ...Read more
Does Chewy have the same PIP culture that Amazon does? Does Chewy have any type of URA targets? Anyone ever work at both companies? Could you compare and contrast the two? TC: $360k #e-commerce #retail
Has the culture @amazon improved over the last few years? Or, perhaps, is it's reputation overblown? - Specifically Eng in Seattle
Have heard a lot of trashing of amazon now. Just curious if Amazon India has a bad culture too. What's the pip percentage in India? TC - 20K YOE - Fresher #engineering #amazon #amazonindia
CTO just confirmed they are letting go 5% with PIP(although real number is 10%) in the anticipation of hiring people who are laid off from big tech and hoping these new people will raise bar and in 6 months they will do it again to keep raising the bar. Homies please make sure you are good with your...Read more
6+ year Sr. Manager at AWS. Really not the same place I started working at. Seems with the hiring freeze, layoffs, targeted firings, and promotion of those that have zero empathy and care only about URA and LE, Amazon is deliberately turning into a shitty place to work to correct for overhiring. The...Read more
I don’t have a positive impression about Apple’s overall work culture and work life balance. I am curious how does it compare to Amazon? Because I don’t hear as many people leaving Apple as people leaving Amazon. So is it better? For context this is AIML core team. Thanks.
