Since the start of covid we pipped 2 new grads on my team. Great motivation for engineers to perform and avoid being bottom performers. Also good for maintaining a high talent bar (only keep decent talent and purge bad hires like most new grads). If there wasn't pip, this place would be full of slackers and rest and vesters like Microsoft. I am pretty sure complaints on blind about amazon pip are just low performers and slackers that deserved the boot! #amazon #pip #wfh
🤣😂
Why not raise the bar on interviews then? Or why backload stonks with the silly Target Comp? So shady
Even with Amazon’s rigorous interview process, it’s not completely indicative of a person’s future output on the job. Anyone who has worked long enough has probably worked with someone who looks great on the surface but lack substance.
Interviewed with them multiple times; there was nothing rigurous about it. Easy to crack as long as you bullshit them on LP's. I have 3 college classmates that took amazon offers after failing at least one interview round (by anyone else's standards -> not finishing a problem or having any idea how to solve it). I also cracked amazon fairly easy even compared to startups. Their recruitment is horrible
Fail troll
Nice troll. Sooner or later you are the one on the PIP chopping block.
I am amazon manager, I'm a giver not a receiver 😃
maybe you are a manager but you are definitely not smart enough realize that even mangers get piped .
You should be PIPed for tagging WFH.
Decimation is a great morale boost
I have personally piped Amazon from my FAANG. It's now FANG for me.
How can anyone justify having a target to achieve in URA? What if no one deserves the boot? The OP is a troll and IMHO, most Amzonians do not agree with him
As a former Amazonian, most Amazonians are blissfully unaware of URA and tools to ensure it. I know a L7 people manager that resigned rather than PIP a good employee because -after all- if the hiring bar is so high - what does it really accomplish? However, once you get to L7, you know how it works, take the HR training that you're not supposed to discuss, and then as part of that cast you are OK with it. I got managed out on a high performing team by an unethical manager. My colleagues had this manager managed out the next year. Then one of them got managed out the subsequent year. It is Machiavellian. The ONLY survivors were the directory and VP (who was one of the most unethical folks I've ever met; for example, not showing bad numbers to AJ, promoting his own coaching business, not disclosing data breaches, trying to figure out ways around Paypal and Apple 30%...)
Ruled by the iron fist. Psychologically unsafe place to work.
Only Amazon managers will get to say if the last statement is true. Are certain managers told then must cull n number of people? Probably. Other cases will just be as you said. The % of each situation happening idk
