What do PIP projects look like at Amazon? I was recently given some insanely stupid, impossible, yet very high profile project that is doomed to failure. Am I being scapegoated prior to PIP? I have a new manager and not sure if they’re just trying to get rid of me.
? Seems like a project that can get you promoted not pipped. Step up and do it
Will you gain significant career benefit by throwing yourself at the project “130%”? For example, improve your body of work for future interviews or career progression outside of Amazon? If so, go for it full force*. Because it has value for you relative to your investment. If not, don’t. * yes, based on what you said, you will fail it regardless. So that is no longer the question… simply what is going to give you the best result. For the vast majority of people, the answer is to not even bother with the PIP: but there are the few where it is worth it.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
There was a description in the #i-was-pipped-en slack channel, something like average CR revision count has to be less than 1.5 and that bulshit
does that mean if you check in code thrice you need to revise it less than 2 times? how does avg cr 1.5 work
Not sure what you mean with "check in code thrice"... If you had a CR with 3 revisions, you would need 3 more CRs with 1 revision only (meaning they get approved directly) so that you have (3+1+1+1)/4 = 1.5 This CR metric is a whole bunch of BS anyways, I have heard that people just discard the CRs instead of creating new revisions to address comments, and instead creating an entirely new CR, addressing the comments there, just to game this whole system
