Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
I boomeranged with Amazon in 2018 after 6 years of working for them prior. Since boomeranging, I have not received any raise. This is year 3 and I was told I get no raise because I’m “at the top of the band” and because I’m too new to the team I joined. When joining, I went from salary to hourly wit...Read more
How does annual raise work after the first couple of years at amazon? 1. if you are getting prmoted 2. no promotion but performing average? I hear base rarely changes without a promotion but what about RSUs? how many RSUs an year can one expect say at L5 after the initial 2 years?
Ask me anything, within reason. Up front, a few things I will/can not do: - Provide specific role/location comp details - Look at/provide your loop feedback (or if you’re rehire eligible) - Refer you to X role I’ll answer questions the next ~24-36 hours.

If I got it right, there is one bar raiser during Amazon onsite interview and if you failed interview with him, you failed it all. But what if you failed another parts but aced the part with him?
Have an on site in NY for a non-tech role at amazon. Any tips for the “bar raiser” interview? I’ve heard it’s brutal
If I understand correctly bar raisers have the ability to veto a hiring manager / interview panel's decision, right? I'm curious for any Amazon hiring managers (or hiring managers at a company with a similar process) what % of the time have you been vetoed?
I work at a company where the only way to get a raise is to be promoted or leave. Amazon is making me an offer. If it’s on the low end of a band range will there be opportunities for me to get raises if I perform well?
Hi Blinders! Sry for the stupid question, i am very new into Amazon, but I’ve wanted to ask you if you can get your raise at a later forte review in the year or the raises are given only in April ? Thanks!
Hi. I am working at Amazon from România and I am curious what are the pay raises over the year and the pay raise when moving from l4 to l5. Thanks!
What's the usual bonus/raise that we get at Amazon. I joined last August and only got a 1% raise. Is that the norm? Or a signal about my performance. Can you ask for an increase or why it's so low?? My manager said it's HR decides and he has no control over it. TC -215, L5 Seattle
Is the bar raiser the only one that counts? I heard they can veto everyone including the hiring manager? Why even have multiple interview rounds if it's essentially decided by one person? Please correct me where I'm wrong. I'm trying to understand how the decision to offer or decline is made behind ...Read more
I always see Amazonians justifying external hires getting 100-150k+ more than internal promotions by justifying that external hires are those who “raise the bar” and hence deserve more than someone who has been at the company for long. How brainwashed are people at Amazon? How the fuck can people b...Read more

My 3rd of interview was the longest interview(1.5 hrs). I was initially asked about all my projects(not much in detail), lot of computer fundamentals(OS mainly),1 or 2 behavioural questions, a coding question(Leetcode Med/hard) which took some time to code and the approach to another question involv...Read more
I have an Amazon on site in a week. It's level 5 role. All behavioral questions. Help me! Amazon Leadership Principles and the bar raiser rounds are going to be tough since it's all behavioral. The manager and the team likes me and my work. Not much info available on how to crack this. TC: 180k Yo...Read more
Has Amazon just given up on trying to get "bar raisers"? They have hired several people I know of late who were mid to low performers at Oracle. TC - $260k
I joined Amazon as a Project Manager in Dec 2021 and will qualify for my first annual performance increase this year. I have been a top performer since starting and my manager has mentioned this many times. I will qualify for a ~6% performance raise. However, given the additional projects I am incha...Read more
Given no new stocks will be awarded for 2022-23. Feels like this is more to attract outside talent than to care for internal folks. Now amazon is free to hire external talent at higher band and the internal folks can’t complain because amazon being the best employer in the world(sadly a leadership p...Read more
I have been in interview panel for like 4 years and today I’ve decided I’ll no more be taking part in the interview process at Amazon. It was the end of my patience today. Out of 5 all except the bar raiser were Inclined and the bar raiser vetoed to ‘Not Inclined’ because he felt candidate just Met...Read more
