devlisted on 5th month at AWS, did couple of 1:1 with manager; understood what is going to happen. was interveiwing, got an offer today from Ericsson; now the question is if I resign do i need to return my hiring bonus that credited to my account for last 5 months? ideas? experience? N:B: I dont want to work for amazon, i would like to resign ASAP! even before my background check is done by Ericsson!
Could you please let me know if they made you pay back the relocation payout if you had any. Heard somewhere that Managers may have the leeway to have that reimbursement waived off. Need to verify. Thanks.
Try to get pip and take the payout
This!
Don't do this - you will get fired from your job and your offer will fall through. If I heard you did this, I would not hire you. Don't be stupid.
Just stay and cash out on your way out

Amazon sucks
Okay, feel sorry for you man. If you resign now, you will need to pay the pro-rated bonus back to Amazon. Also, they will charge you for the relocation expenses. Talk to manager/HRBP to expedite the pivot process. HRBP is generally happy to expedite the process. Post the pivot process (if you fail) here are your options: 1. Leave Amazon with severance (Expect around 10 weeks of your salary given the current situation). They will also give you the full sign-on bonus and relocation amount. You would not be charged anything. 2. Accept to enter PIP (roughly 30-60 days). If after PIP your manager is not satisfied, he will recommend termination. However, you can appeal. Amazon again gives you an option to take severance and not appeal. Severance is much lesser this time (expect 30-40% of previous severance) 3. Appeal the decision. If you fail, you will be asked to leave. However, you still get a severance (expect 15% of severance in option 1) Some more data: Pivot process is around 45-60 days You get 5 business days to decide your options after pivot process PIP process is around 30-60 days If you decided to appeal, it takes around 5 business day for the decision to come In no background check, your pivot/pip details be shared. Amazon only shares start, end date and your designation as part of background check.
thaka a lot for good information ! I have accepted an offer already, started Background check, so I have to resign. I did not relocate, so no reloacation charge been paid by amazon. I have to return my 5 months of Hiring bonus. But anyways I can expedite this process 2-3 months, impossible. Background check of ericsson may take max 10/12 days + 14 days notice upon resignation. So max 30 days from now. I dont want to stay a single day here . Backstabbing people all around.. Thanks a lot brother. stay safe
If you donโt mind sharing a little more details, what is the Pivot process at Amazon? I am aware of the pip process. Can I read it somewhere in our peopleportal or wiki etc?
