Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
So it takes quite a while to go from sde2 to sde3. Does amazon expect you to make the same for all those years until you get promoted? Are there performance reviews each year to give you more money within the same level?

L6 TPM here. Attended my first Talent Review at Amazon. Since I am relatively new to the team,I didn't add a lot to the discussion. Wherever possible, I spoke positively about co-workers or else I kept shut simply because I would like to give these co-workers another chance to prove me wrong about s...Read more
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...Read more
I joined Amazon at an L6 IC position in May last year. I have no idea of how annual reviews work at Amazon, who is eligible, is salary revision on the cards etc. I filled in the Forte feedbacks and my own summary recently. The tool says you will have a manager discussion and rating around May, whic...Read more

How do you feel about it? My manager asked me to give him a list of the things I accomplished during the year and mentioned he’ll speak to my previous manager (with whom I was working on another service). Knowing that manager, he’ll probably roast me, so yeah.. Ngl, if I get pipped, it’ll be a bles...Read more

When I worked in Amazon devices, our director told us they removed 1 star reviews for lab126 products routinely if they felt they didn’t like what was written Anyone else in lab126 experience this? Seems really sketchy to me, unethical. Maybe illegal if other manufacturers aren’t allowed to do the ...Read more
Does anyone working for Amazon know why the reviews only show the date of the review and not the date the item was purchased? Wouldn’t showing both dates would make it easier to see which reviewers actually have experience with an item?
Been at Amazon for just over 10 months now and my manager said I am close to my performance review in a while. I have some questions about this and would appreciate feedback from ex or current Amazonians: - Whats the process behind employees getting rated at Amazon? - Whats the rating scale and wi...Read more
