Feel very lucky to not be laid off. I have no complaints about the time I spent working here. You must be extremely spoiled brat if an Amazon SDE is your definition of a bad job. Chances are if a job is actually better than Amazon (pays a few more π₯) the bar for it is so high it's not actually worth the effort to get. TC 310k
I hope your loyalty pays off π
Has for now π
OP, that was sarcasm.... At least you are optimistic. But beware that loyalty doesn't pay in the end.
Good place to make money π°
How many are getting PIPd?
People who donβt like Amazon are not wrong or spoiled brats. You just seem to be part of a good non toxic team. Good for you
"Toxic team" myth. Never seen a toxic team. People here just work and have the same conflicts about work that happen in all other reasonably run companies.
Sounds like you have seen every other team that exist in amazon
Copium is strong in this one
Amazon is a great place to work. Just comes after Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Uber, Airbnb, Salesforce,Stripe, LinkedIn and about a couple dozen more...
overall yes, but I think it has its pros over the other places, way more emphasis on maintaining and fixing shit you build, compared to e.g google
I'd rather work at Amazon than most of those companies. Microsoft doesn't match my pay and your WLB at Meta is probably worse than mine here at Amazon. Companies like Airbnb pay very slightly more and have ridiculously difficult and unrealistic interviews. So why bother with them? No worth it to grind for them at all. Having a few more π₯ a year will do nothing for my quality of life.... not to mention companies like Uber far less secure than Amazon.
What's your job role?
I agree itβs not nearly as bad as people pretend but still sucks in a lot of ways.
Maybe it's just the Blind crowd or maybe because it's anonymous people freely rant but some of the horror stories Amazonians share are not "pretend" and seems pretty bad.
I would ask you to iterate the same once you are put in Focus unknowingly. This years URA quota will be harsh. And I'm sure suckers like you will for sure perish.
What's URA? Part of PIP?
URA. "Un-regretted attrition." Aka people leaving who Amazon thinks aren't worthy and won't be missed. They set a URA quota every year to decide what % of employees to pip
