Got an offer for Amazon and was wondering what their benefits are like. For WFH, can I expense a standing desk+monitor+chair setup and internet/phone bill? Do they offer tuition reimbursement? And apparently the 401k 2% match vests after 3 years so if I leave before then, I lose the entire matching portion? Amazon Offer: 160 🍌

No bananas for me since I’m not in Seattle 😭
I wish lol
Desk+monitor+chair is depending on the org. Many cringe orgs don't allow to expense anything, or have limits of $300 or even less (sometimes total, sometimes per item). Company-wide, with permission of manager (who in turn needs permission from skips on org policy), the maximum allowed limit per item is $500. But, again, some cringe orgs outright refuse to expense a penny for desk+chair. Others let you buy a different chair every month with permission of manager. Yes, you get 0 company match in 401k if you don't stay as long as 3 years. Less than 2 years? Not a penny of the match will vest.
I’ve been at Amazon 3 months and expensed 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse total of about 400$. A Co-worker tried to expense a standing desk 200$$ and they asked for note from Dr.
FYI, I joined Amazon last month, expensed 750$ for chair, table, monitor, mouse/keyboard. They were totally cool with it.

How about phone bill and transportation(in case you wanna go to office) - btw i am in Arlington,Va location
Phone bill gets covered for up to 50$. But has to be approved my manager. There’s some Lyft discounts via a third party company
How about if i drive - can i claim reimbursement for my gas and toll?
