Amazon Incentives
- Amazon recruiter team matching incentives I passed the final Amazon L6 PM interview loop but was not a mutual fit for the team. I have talked to others on the team but it is still not a good fit. Do recruiters have less incentive to match me outside of the team they recruit for? Will they keep trying to find a fit only within the same team?
- Incentive to Amazon Manger for PIP What is the incentive that Amazon Mangers get for putting a member of the team in PIP ? What should SDE1 do to stay put with toxic mangers ? #tech #amazon
- Incentive to switch to AWS People who work for or have worked for Microsoft, what does Amazon provide that convinced you to work for Amazon? From what I see all of their benefits are garbage compared to Microsoft's. Pay may be more, but overall quality seems really bad. #microsoft #amazon

- Amazon SDM reached out on LinkedIn and referred me I’ve heard stories about Amazon SDMs reaching out personally on LinkedIn.

- vote Name and shame/praise: Companies the disincentivize starting side projects? Amazon has a clause that states any projects created while employed at Amazon are owned by Amazon (regardless of how or what conditions it was created under; if you are employed by them, you don’t own it) This removes all incentive to create your own projects, what other companies do things like th

- Unable to understand Uber loses If the revenue is 3.5 billion, this is basically Ubers cut from the transaction. So this is the money I paid - what Uber paid to drivers.

- Facebook interviewers - What’s incentive? What motivates SDE’s to go participate in interviews? In Amazon doing X interviews, clearing a bar raiser program is like having a badge.

- vote Instead of a head tax, how about a tax incentive to hire someone who is homeless? There are incentives to hire former military, and other sub sets of society and Amazon tracks and collects on all of them. Incentivizing companies to hire homeless people seems like something everyone on both sides would have a hard time not agreeing to. And seems like it might be more effective th

- Amazon hq2 n buying home in Seattle Is it worth buying home in Seattle given Amazon has plans to expand in other cities. It could either get support from Seattle to expand locally or some other city might provide incentives . Given traffic n housing prices it makes sense for it to find office space outside. Are we at peak of Seattle
- No enough incentive to Leetcode At 4 years cliff at Amazon and TC is peanut 🥜 now, and no any chance to increase it for now IMO. But WLB is too good (less than 30 hours per week), and team vibe is good, so I have no enough incentive to Leetcode.

- Amazon PIP mechanism absolutely works Every company claims they will cut "low performers" but Amazon is absolutely right that this is mostly a "good intention" and rarely actually done at other companies. You would have to be extremely terrible to be PIPed at Microsoft. The reason? There is no incentive for managers to force out low per
- 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
