Amazon Pip Escalation To Survive
I completed 6 month SDE internship last year and joined a team in HYD as full time in Sept. Didn't have a good bonding with manager, lots of OE work and tried shifting to another HYD team in early Jan. Manager's negative feedback didn't led to the transfer and that's where I got weekly performance mails with no major points. In march, Manager shared a two-phased coaching plan of with eight tasks, each of atleast 1 months dev effort which I called out over email. Now, after delivering 3 tasks and 1 in implementation phase, manager has scheduled a pivot meeting invite with HRBP. *How much chances are there of getting the PIP decision reviewed on escalating the case to senior leadership?* *Can I take casual leaves to buy some time before this meeting happens in coming week?* *Shall I ask business team to share the feedback?* I have the datapoints collected for every week of strong dev effort I have put in. Senior devs appreciated the design and rated one of the project as SDE2 level one. #Amazon #pip #culture #sde #swe

The team you interned with didn't have an opening?
It did. I moved to Hyd to stay with family.
Time to move on..didn’t know Indian teams will pip as well
1. If you are asking - don't waste your time. 2. Too late. Can try to do medical leave during pip. Not paid, just to extend employment status. 3. Yes! If you end up in appeal. But that feedback should be relevant for the tasks in pip.
1. Will the escalation meeting/mail get ignored in the worst case? 3. Not going for PIP tasks in any case. Will prefer to look opportunity outside. So there's no way to appeal now?
1. Worst case you will prove you can't earn trust. Skip needs to sign your pip plan, if you have a meeting scheduled - they have already made their mind. 3. Last time I checked, you could appeal only the pip outcome (before you could appeal the pip itself). Please, check the Amazon tab, there are many threads(
Sorry you're part of the URA quota, senior leadership thanks you for helping them meet this quota.
nah, they won’t even thank
Never change team. Always change company.
Agree now. Never thought of switching so quickly few months before.
Keep in mind, jobs are difficult to find amidst this pandemic. So, try to stick with Amazon for as long as possible.
Shit. Is Amazon this bad? Why every PIP sounds like the victim is ok with performance but manager pushes them out?
