Amazon new grad hire
Amazon new grad hires are shit(most of them) - return interns as well as 30 min ones. I am trying to resolve the mess one of them did as I am OnCall. I was his mentor and I had categorically denied manager to not bring him back as he lowers the bar but we were not getting people for 6 months straight so manager asked me to put incline vote and now we are paying for him. The value/cost is abysmal for this intern. If there was a pool of interns in terms of rating like meta/google and all, he won't be even hired in first place. But banana factory has no bar raisers for new grad hires TC:210k after crash I am depressed, need suggestions. Life is unfair, so many talented people are getting laid off, some in unfair pip and all and here this jerk is asking me daily about benefits at Amazon. Amazon bar is bs, many teams here if stack ranked against other teams in terms of quality of output could get pipped entirely Edit : He is 7 months into new job full time
Don't be such an ass . He is just an intern . It's a good opportunity to coach Always remember people at the same level never performs at same level .some underperform and some overperform . Even at your level , someone might be far better as compared to you .it doesn't mean you ar shit employee ! That's why I left Amazon , people there always curse about each other ..i such a bad culture !
Exactly. It’s this guys fault as much as the interns
Interns are hired for 2 reasons - cheap labour - to be mentored They should never be put in positions where they can make detrimental mistakes. Any situation even remotely close to that is purely at fault of the manager. OP should man up, take some responsibility and learn from this
Your mentor probably thought of you the same way when you were an intern
He is not an intern, he is new grad 7 months into job
You are the problem. I feel sorry for the poor intern who will experience that Amazon toxicity.
Graduated from school last year and I’m on pace to make more than you on a year over year basis as I approach L5. Sucks for you!
Yeah you are on pace for next layoff at amazon
Your manager is complaining about you too instead of trying to make you a better engineer. Toxic mentality like this is the reason the bar is so low at amazon, learn to uplift your coworkers and you will all become better Remember when you are ranting there is a reason you are not the one making the decisions
You uplift where there's scope. Nobody handheld me why should I
What was it like to come out of the womb writing flawless code? Must’ve been nice!
He can’t code and isnt trying? His bad He can code and is trying? Your bad for not giving him a chance to proof himself If after a good amount of time and you see no improvement. Then bring this up. Maybe lower your expectations from interns with meta/google rating lol You are his mentor, not his bully Interestingly, I’m sure there are no shortage of applicants at this time
He is 7 months into job as
I'm sorry you're just now learning that life isn't fair.
Amazon monkey. You probably don’t know how to manage well.
When big TC people talk, small don't interfere
