3 years total in Amazon in two teams. I have been underperforming since past few quarters now, but never got critical feedbacks. Managers are supportive(worked under 4 diff managers) . Thats completely opposite of reviews here where its pip everywhere. Agree that WLB is not good though, actually its ultra terrible during oncalls.

    A recent incident that happened with me: My manager forced me to attend the standup and assigned work over the weekends even when I tested positive for the Coronavirus.

      @chasingp, go fuck yourself. I know about this policy and my manager raised the TT for my leave when I tested positive. After the 5th day, I started receiving CALLS AND MESSAGES from my manager to join back as we had a release coming up next week.

      The money for your sick leave is paid by insurance and calling you for office work is Fraud. Every manager knows this, otherwise he will get into legal trouble. That’s why what you are saying is BS.

      Instead of complaining here, just report it to HR.

    Easy to explain if you're a diversity hire. Or maybe you're in a good team. Not everyone is as lucky as you are. I know for a fact that good engineers can be pipped while they'd still be totally fine outside Amazon and even within Amazon had managers be more humane. Also search for "hire to fire" on Blind. There is no smoke without fire, Amazon's rating and feedback is self evident. I learned there a lot, I'm grateful but I'm saying to my friends don't go to Amazon unless you're desperate.
