- New to Amazon - Quitting for Ethical Reasons Hi all, I joined Amazon about a month ago as a. L6 in EMEA. I worked incredibly hard throughout the interview process and thought the particular project and role was a good one. Part of me wanted to believe the negative stereotypes of the company were wrong. I realize that was naive on my part. In

Amazon coerce ecobee smart home device manufacturer to share Alexa data even if customers are not using it, ecobee refused but negotiations still under way! https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/15/22386086/amazon-strong-arm-power-ecobee-antitrust-tech
- Ethical way to handle Amazon Focus plan I was put into focus for reasons that I felt were laughable. Somehow never got along with my manager too cuz he used to micromanage the hell out of me. He’s become better now but I can tell that he doesn’t consider me a strong performer. Was expecting promo in Q1 21 and was instead handed Needs Impr

- vote Why apple needs Amazon PIP Amazon maintains its status as Earth's #1 employer and most innovative company in the universe today. Google, Microsoft, apple. These are now dinosaurs, consistently failing to innovate at all turns, lagging behind Amazon. How does Amazon maintain its success ? The great work ethic. The performanc
- Amazon offer renegotiate Hi all, So I accepted Amazon offer for L6 position non SW related. But since Amazon TC structure changed, should I renegotiate? Is it ethical? I haven’t started yet. Current base offered is $160k. Would I be getting increase in my base next year if I join now with this base?
- Parental leave 6 months after joining. I have a verbal offer from Amazon. But I am pregnant and the delivery date is Aug 20. I desperately want to quit Nextdoor and dont want to leave Amazon opportunity. Is it ethical to join and go on leave? What happens if I do that? Will I be piped soon after? Totally confused. What should I do her
- Stop the shaming BS I hate when people who work at FAANGs morally try to shame others when they are moving to another FAANG. One is not ethically better than the other. All are trying to make money and maximize market share. Facts: Facebook only cares about engagement. Apple uses slave labor. Amazon sells counterfe
- Rejecting Amazon offer So, I’m yoloing with Amazon. Here’s my rejection email draft. Suggestions on making this better? For context, I got a L6 offer, with about 400k tc. I was L7 at google before. I interviewed at Amazon for the lulz and it was good. I won’t join Amazon no matter what. Ethically opposed to their busin
- Why are companies hire lazy employees and ok with a slacker image? Certain companies like Microsoft and Google have begun to attract lazy employees. The ones who want to “retire”. You see this sentiment on Blind all the time. This is due to these companies having an image where slacking at work is the norm. I can’t see how this is good for the company nor can I see

- Amazon Prime day WT* Amazon guys? All the items left in my cart has increased 15-20% since today. Is this even ethical? This is cheating in the name of Prime day deals. I have made a pledge to stop buying from Amazon as much as possible.#tech #amazon #primeday
- vote Should I jump ship to Tik Tok? Just accept an offer at AWS in Tx(TC: 150). Tik Tok reached out. I'm still in the interview phase but based on research I'm expecting about about 170-190 in TC(SF or Seattle). Should I jump ship for that sweet Tik Tok stock appreciation or stay at AWS for the Amazon Brand? Bonus Question: What are
- Do I have to do any work after I quit? Handed in my notice. Ethics aside, what would keep me from having my laptop shut for days at a time/doing 15 mins of work per day during my notice period? Need time to regen and Amazon is refusing to let me take a single day off during Christmas so feeling pretty strong FU vibes here
- Amazon application with a new email Hi all, Has anyone changed their email and started applying with a new one at Amazon and finally got the offer? Not with the intention to avoid the cooling off period but just for a fresh start, too many applications with the last email. Is there anything ethically wrong with it?
- Does FB/Meta Really Leave a "Black Mark" on your Career? I am considering offers from both Amazon and Meta. Meta has a lot of heat right now for its political influence and societal impact. I hear some say that working for FB leaves a "Black Mark" on your career and that is causing senior talent to leave. Politics/ethics aside. Will companies really care
- vote Apple vs Amazon vs Facebook, where would you work as SWE given the same TC and top teams?

- Recruiter asking for copy of other company offer letter I am in negotiation stage and recruiter is asking to share written offer letter from other company to negotiate further.

- Cancelling Amzn onsite Thinking of cancelling Amazon Seattle onsite as wife found a job in the Bay Area. They have already booked my flight tickets and hotel. Is it ethical to cancel now? Would I need to reimburse for the cancelled flights? Would it make me ineligible for future roles in the company?
- Rejecting an offer from a tech company If you reject an offer from a tech company like amazon / Uber / google / fb - do you get blacklisted by the company. Provided you were ethical and didnot accept and then retract, do companies mind? Interviewing in a few places but will only jump if comp is great.
- People who worked in Amazon and another company, does Amazon actually suck balls? Before anyone asks, 3 YoE L4, TC 186k in Seattle (I got fucked in promo last team, only thing that's saving the comp is the bloated RSU) Aside from minor internships, Amazon is the only enterprise experience I've had. Obviously there are some downfalls (oncall, lack of benefits, etc), but I'm not s
- Feeling confused about “Ethics” I had a verbal confirmation from Amazon when I was reached out by LinkedIn. I had mentioned about the verbal confirmation with LinkedIn recruiter.

- Easiest transition into tech? Wife surprised me by asking me to teach her how to code in order to break into tech. I figured entry-level SWE at Amazon is probably a cake walk at this point, but any other job families that could lead to a foot in the door that I’m not thinking of? Any particular apprenticeships out there that pay
- Focus plan options in different country Hi!! I got engaged and asked my manager to transfer me to Germany, where my fiancée lives and she suggested to apply internally in Amazon.

- Amazon Referral Needed - Continuous Improvement, Lean, or Process Engineering roles. Laid off from O&G with 15 yrs exp Posts speaks for itself. Great manager actually who i used to report to is now laid off. Been applying to all internal Amazon jobs that apply to us.

- L7 Manager looking for a new job I started at Amazon (<6months) as an L7 Sr SDM. It's the most toxic culture I've ever joined.

Please help me fin

But what if you went from hired + signing bonus, get up to speed for a few months, get PIPed, then hang on until you've made it a year, collect first vest, then leave?

- Let's list stereotypical reasons for why each big tech company is bad until we find the best one to work for --FAANG tier-- Facebook: Too political, disorganized, elitist Amazon: 'nuff said. Harsh culture of algorithmic stack ranking, long hours, low pay. Apple: Secrecy breeds siloed culture, top-down tyrannical, cheap about pay. Netflix: ? Don't they do stack-ranking but it's not as bad as in Amazon o
- Amazon HR question after declining offer in Jan I reached out to my contacts in different teams at Amazon. Got offer from a team which i declined due to very low TC.

- For all those asking for advice whether to choose MSFT vs Amzn Everyone compares Microsoft refreshers to other FAANG refreshers. That's unfair. I may be on the upper end of the spectrum at msft, but I am not a rock star. I consistently get 140% rewards, where 100% is target and 200% is max. If you work hard, 140 is guaranteed at MSFT, albeit a bad manager. Her
- Staff evaluation at Amazon vs Meta Hey Folks, an Amazon Sr SDM here, wondering about the org culture at Meta vs Amazon. I’d love to hear from any managers who have transitioned from Amazon to Facebook/Meta about differences in people management between the two places. What is the evaluation process like? Is there a curve that the sta

So, I have politely told Amazon recruiters like 3585336773 times that I am not interested in Amazon. But, every time I say I am not interested, another fungus (HR) of Amazon will grow in as fas
- vote PSA: do not meet toxic micromanaging managers once you go into FMLA during PIP It seems common that Amazon managers would still schedule "final" meetings with you once you're already on an FMLA (a federally protected leave of absence in the US). They may try to give as justification the fact that the leave is sudden (note that anxiety/depression doesn't require the 30d notice
- Is it insane to switch jobs right now? TC 90 New TC offer 110 So I was aggressively job hunting right when all this happened. I have some solid, promising leads that are still moving forward. Could get a job offer (at Amazon) on the 26th, which is when they said they're making final cuts. Is it just lunacy to make a move right now? I
- Leaving Amazon - I can't support URA goals I'm a Sr. Manager with 30+ heads in my org. I hire and develop the best. We deliver results. My Director has a URA goals, therefore I have a URA goal.

- Amazon deletes reviews with no explanation I bought a lot of stuff on Amazon and left a lot of positive reviews (24 to be precise). One day, randomly, they all got deleted from my account. Of course I contacted them and received back a meaningless email that doesn’t say anything about the reasons for that decision. While I couldn’t give le
- Recruiter asks current salary, what to say? Hi all, Ive been coming across recruiters asking total compensation or base salary expectations which is a valid question. This question is usually followed by asking for my current TC. The thing is currently I feel I'm quite underpaid (120k TC, L5) hence reason for looking for a new job. If I tel
- What is it like to work at Amazon AWS sales? What is the work ethic like at Amazon? Specifically as a sales rep at AWS. Wondering what the expectations are. At IBM there really isn't much. On an average 30 - 40 hours per week of real work trying to close deals and getting meetings and stuff. Not saying that IBM sales reps don't work hard. Bu
