i recently recived an offer from Amazon and was offered a good relocation package in which amazon would take care of almost everything relocating me to seattle. it however says that if my job terminates for any reason within first two years (even if amazon lays me off) i have to return the money that they spent on relocating me. is it common. TC 225k
You don’t owe the whole amount .total cost is divided in 24 months, and depending on when you leave , remaining month balance is due
That’s not my question. My question is why do we have to give anything back to them if they fire you. You aren’t leaving voluntarily.
Yes and bill you. PIP it’s called
I guess they are expecting u to pay from your unemployment check :-) on a serious note, if they fire you they will give u severance package. If u do something unlawful then I guess you just pay up
And how much is the severance package worth? 3-6 months pay?
Tell them to take off that clause- learn to fight back
I did ask the recruiter. She said that this is standard amazon doc and she could do nothing about it.
You should ask for straight money instead
Return the money...? Yes. BUT two years is not...one year is standard. Additionally the 'if they fire you' clause is total fucking bullshit.
YOE?
Nothing is standard She is making stuff up. They can change it if they want.

Chances of meta clearing E5 with screwing up one coding one round and acing all other
Leaving on your own is common, but them firing you within the first two years isn’t - unless you a complete screwup
Understood. But if they do won’t that totally suck. They fire you with a 20k bill. Do they do that.
