We know Amazon is a paymaster, but does it give a good WLB? #tech #Microsoft #Google #facebook

      To answer your question, Amazon is literally the worst company out there for WLB. Amazon is known for Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), stack ranking, and hire to fire. Every 2 quarters, the managers have to fire the engineers at the very bottom. They have a quota to fill, so even if you you’re in a super star team, a few people will get put on PIP every year. This is inherently flawed and it’s the reason many good engineers are placed on PIP. To combat this, some managers hire people so they can fire them after 6 months, that way their main team won’t get impacted. This creates more problems. If you search for Amazon, you will find a lot of horror stories on here.

    Amazon pays great, $400k TC as an SDM is very rare to come by. Trust me, I'm stuck with $200k offers and trying to leave Amazon if I can get to $300k TC

    I have been in 2 teams since I joined a few years ago and found the WLB to be good. It is team dependent as other have mentioned.
    Amazon is really big, and ignoring the associates (fulfillment centres), we’re still bigger than most… this means a lot team with good and bad. Make sure you interview your new team and leader. Also one thing that I quickly realized, Amazon makes it easy to move teams if you’re not satisfied in your role.
    Amazon does expect people to deliver and own what they do, but if you’re good you are going to be ok.

    WLB depends on the team, but assume 95% of them have rough WLB.
