Amazon Work
- Amazon Music Atlanta WLB Talked to a recruiter for Amazon Music for Atlanta and they're saying the org acts as a separate subsidiary from Amazon, so the WLB is much better. Is this true? I don't want to work more than 40 hours/week, trying to decide if it's worth considering. Had ruled out Amazon in the past because I don'
- Feel blessed to work at Amazon Amazon lacks positive and is underrated on Blind IMO. So here is my positive story. First of all, compensation.. TC before Amazon: 60k USD -(promo)-> 70k USD -(job change)> 90k USD. TC after Amazon: 210k USD -> 270k USD -> 310k USD (changes in comp has all been in same role) Work

- Amazon deserves #1 place to work spot on LinkedIn I can’t think of any company that provides job security, high pay, mobility and high career growth opportunities like Amazon does. Not a single company. For example Netflix or hedge funds may pay better but their mobility is shit and so is their job security. Career growth is limiting due to it bei

- Wayfair vs Amazon Work Cultures 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

- Has anything changed with Amazon WLB? I know how horrible WLB is in Amazon but considering how many people have left the company and how desperate the HR’s and managers are right now to hire new people, did they do any large structural changes to improve WLB or PIP culture? I know that they pay a lot, not talking about just money here.
- Amazon is a great place to work 😵💫 Hello, Amazon is a great place to work.
- Need to desperately move out of Amazon due to WLB I am a PMT (L6) at Amazon. I have been with Amazon for almost four years and I started to hate this job due to my manager. My manager is a micro manager. He attends late night calls just to make sure I attend and then he leaves, keeps on dumping work on me. Pings on Sundays, holidays, early morning

- How “refreshers” work at Amazon Last updated: 7/21/2019 TL;DR: If you sign with Amazon, expect only paltry base raises and no new stock grants until the 5th year even if you get promoted. If you don’t, your TC will actually drop to the bottom of band so that’s a cliff in its own way. What you see in the offer letter is all you’re
- Working at Amazon is the best thing to happen to me (my story) TLDR: I am not technically skilled and through blind luck I landed an SDM job at Amazon. My life has never been better. I started my career as an sde in the mid 2010s and after a year I realized that hate coding and I'm horrible at it. I love LC and SD interviewing but I hate the actual day2day of

- Amazon WLB I am pretty aware that Amazon is known (at least here on Blind) for its shitty work culture and non existent wlb. I have seen below job offer though, that says they like wlb. Can it be true, as things depend on the team, or is it just a straight lie? TC: Not relevant as I don’t work in the US; YoE:

- How's WLB in Amazon Care Team Hi Blinders. I was reached out by an Amazon recruiter for Amazon Care team. While it's still too early stage, I want to make sure I can join the team if I pass their interview. So, anyone knows how's the WLB and culture in Amazon Care team in Canada? Also, can I parallely interview for multiple team
- New Grads Dont Work at Amazon!!! Amazon treats it’s employees poorly in general but this especially true for new grads due to ... 1. There’s barely any documentation or mentorship. It’s a “sink of swim” culture. This is manageable if you have experience but if your a new grad your more likely to sink. 2. Amazon has a lot of confu

And could it make it harder to

- Amazon work culture is becoming more toxic After working in Amazon for almost 7 years, I were given Needs improvement rating(not PIP) last year. When asked for reason, manager gave "the number of code changes I made is less then others in the team". That is true as I took sometime off to take care of my new born. But, I was surprised that af

- Amazon is the only FAAMG allowing the most flexible WFH policy But that's because it largely sucks. Most teams at Amazon are offering the following: 1. Permanent remote as long as you live within the metro area. 2. Options to work from major tech cities like Seattle, NYC, Bay Area, Denver, Boston, Austin. 3. In Seattle, option to be based in a building near yo
- 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
