Got an offer from Amazon for L5 and recruiter seems to be vague on bonus/refresher policy. Heard they rarely give them. Anyone can confirm please?
There are no bonuses or refreshers. After 2y at Amazon, you will begin to anually get stocks that vest 2y out. Your level and rating will determine a target comp that determines the amount of stock you get.
Thanks, it verified my assumption that recruiter is not telling the truth
This is really complicated. In conclusion Amazon refresher policy sucks
Only if the stock drops. Else you are penalized.
What if you get a promo?
How many years it take from L5 to L6 on average?
I assume 3-5 years but it depends on how close you are to SDE3 level before you join . I haven't been at Amazon for long enough to get refreshers though. Also curious how comp adjustment works with shares and startup bonus if you get a promo before 2 years
You can slack off your second because refreshers don't start till 3rd year.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

None?
Not for your first two years unless you are way below the pay band. Expect a 2% raise and maybe $10k in stock that vests 2 years out.
