What days off do Amazon AWS software engineers get?

I know we get Thanksgiving and Christmas. Do we get Martin Luther King day off?

I was about to say “Um, do aws employees get different holidays than the rest of amazon?” Lol

Amazon yWyX82 Jan 14, 2018

I'm not sure it is specific to Cali but we get 3 more - Christmas Eve, new year's Eve and another one I can't remember

Don’t all engineers at Amazon get the same 6 holidays? 😂 AWS is no special I think!

Amazon coyote<3 Jan 14, 2018

Actually correcting myself. All employees!

If you're in California, you get 9 holidays and 3 floating holidays. Most other places get 6 holidays and 6 floating holidays.

Amazon is well below average here.

Amazon WocG38 Jan 14, 2018

Yep.

It's a pinprick. Amazon is death by 1000 pinpricks

Depends on the location, generally the minimum allowed by law

One day for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas? And people will argue that it’s not a sweatshop... 🍆

In California it's the standard two and two

In Europe we get 25 holidays each year + 9 bank holidays and each time you're on call if you get paged you get half a day off as TOIL.

Amazon coyote<3 Jan 14, 2018

Woah! (Works in Seattle, US)

Microsoft Sugardaddy Jan 14, 2018

Not surprising! I bet in Canada you also get more holidays + more days off because of country rules.
