Need some positive stories about Amazon

Sep 2, 2021 32 Comments

I have decided to join Amazon as everything about the new roll checks out. Great Product Great team, great manager (met him personally), director was part of the team that I am currently at in Microsoft. Everday I read atleast a few negative stories about Amazon. Makes me nervous and adds to my anxiety. If a company has such great products it certainly should have something that keeps employees motivated other than pip. I want to feel better about my decision.
Please only post positive experiences.

  • I had never imagined that i will get a call from Google or FB recruiter in my life. It changed after I joined Amazon. Although i got pipd from Amazon, but i know that FB/Google recruiters wont ignore me if i contact them now.

    It's amazing here! You'll never have to worry about getting attached to your manager or peers because statistically they'll be gone in less than a year! Lack motivation? PIP will keep you awake and smiling through those 3 AM Sev 2s! Someday you might even get to bring your cat to work! Did I mention the free bananas?

    There’s plenty of advice on here on how to navigate Amazon and not get pip. Just don’t rock the boat, write quality defensive code, and spit back leadership principles

    I’ve had good experiences at Amazon. Nice teammates and learned a lot so far. Everything varies from team to team but you can always switch if you want.
