I am in dev-list. Manager said that he will be starting pivot soon. I have no intention of staying at Amazon or ever coming back to Amazon. I also an offer from another company. Does anyone know what is the severance for 8 year experience at Amazon? Is it worth siging pivot documents to take severance or would you prefer just leaving while on dev list? I am financially sound and don't need the severance money. Second question - how are other amazon piped people doing in their career now? I am a bit down and seeking some validation from other people. Yoe: 8 (all at Amazon) Tc: 290k SDE3 in Seattle
it is for the better
8 years at Amazon!? Thatâs pretty commendable. Take severance and leave. Your eligibility to rehire is taken away until you are in dev list. Ask for expedited pivot, your experience is much valued outside.
So if someone is put into Dev list, and later leave, marked as "no-rehire" forever?
Yes. Initially you could get on pivot and get rehires after a year, however, even now they have changed it as well - getting on pivot also marks ineligibility to rehire.
8 years them pivot? Very unusual.
What's the order? Dev list -> pivot -> pip -> fired ?
I don't know if pivot and pip are different.
Pip == dev list
Wow!!! 8 YOE at AMZN. And dev-listed đź
Brutal!
Why would you want to get rehired at a place that doesnât value you?
What happened? Do you have a good network of ppl? After 8 years seems odd
I have built a good network of people here. Had a few arguments with my manager, I think probably that lead to this
Otherwise, has it been a good job or a nightmare like others insinuate? Also sad that after 8 years this is happening to you. Iâm sorry :(
If you have been really been at Amazon for 8 years, and have had good performance reviews until now, you should challenge pivot.

Why is it so G*damn difficult to move money out of India
What happened? Stayed at Amz for 8 years, got to sde3 and then pipped, wtf.
SDE3's are also get PIPed? Seems brutal culture.
Why would sde3s be untouchable? Could be newly promoted, bad projects or new manager among other things.
