Amazon US interns got a 16 inch MacBook pro, 32 inch QHD monitor, keyboard, mouse and a headset whereas the Indians interns only received a laptop which is not a Mac. Why do u think Amazon treats Indian students in such a bad way ? US interns are selected based on 1 leetcode question whereas the Indian students had to surpass a lot of competition to get the internship and still treated so badly and unfairly. Why can't they all get the same treatment atleast in terms of the equipment offered ? #internship
If you’re talking about interns stationed at IDCs in India vs USA, pretty obvious that would happen. Happened to me too in more than one companies. But if you’re referring to Indians being treated differently than Americans when both are in the same office, then it’s a pretty serious accusation and should be elevated and highly unlikely tbh.
They have an automated system to request equipment. They ask if you want mac or windows.
I got a Dell latitude laptop for my internship in India. Piece of shit 😂
Are you an SDE intern at Amazon India now ?
No I was intern in 2015
I guess largely because of budgets, legal laws, leadership styles, etc. it happens in almost every company. See India is a country where every team is pushed to save costs. In my company alone which is a product organization, per individual labour’s cost to company varies at the order of 10s of dollars per hour. Where do you think all that cost savings come from. There are tons of things Indian leadership does. Also US offices are not that stuffed as in here. Similar reasons.
Oh... There there.
The abuse of getting a different laptop. But yeah in general the true motherships will have more perks
I think it has to do with job family. Non tech folks, even full time employees don't get MacBook. Tech job families are allowed MacBook
Because Amit Agarwal is a cheapskate.
Because he firmly believes in Frugality
Lol atleast you have a job
Looks like either fake news or some issue regarding availability / shipping these laptops during WFH these days
Lol come on, you're talking about people working in two different geographies with presumably different budgets. Is it fair to compare Amazon US office with Amazon India office and scream unfairness? I don't think so. This is something similar. Also, as an Indian intern I received everything that you mentioned the US intern received (13 inch MacBook though). So I'm confused about whether you're talking about an SDE internship in India
I see many Amazon India SDE interns on Linkedin not having a Macbook in their posts. Are you sure, all interns got the Macbook and a Monitor ?
@OP those are their personal laptops Shipping laptops in lockdown is still an issue.
