I’ve an offer to join AWS as solutions architect for public sector but now concerned after hearing the scary stories of PIP. I am on H1B with I140 approved. Definitely I am getting more in comparison to current job and have the only offer. Should I proceed and what about the PIP in AWS ?

    This is how you’re evaluated at Amazon.

    Pip is company wide for all job families. Most people are fine (like 90% of them every semester). Crush it and you'll be fine

    The only times I saw someone getting pipped are (a) when the employee was really bad or (b) the manager/skip just needed to fill the quota and had no one else to choose.

    (Note that the 10% excludes people who leave voluntarily with good performance)

      And do you think option b) just need to fill the quota and no one else to choose is acceptable? It’s actually horrifying

      If there are not enough low performers, we need to find more people to sacrifice. That's just how HR wants

      No, I wholeheartedly disagree with option b. It sucks for the low level manager to do this dirty job just to complete some HR mandates. It does no good for the reneges i got last year (and the ones I'm sure to get this year)

    Please join, I want to hire to fire, how else you expect me to meet my firing quota. Others on my team are great to work with, just need one scape goat to fire. ;) just kidding, life is too short to not get fired, that said, fears are exaggerated.

    Worst case scenario: your pip doc is ready before you join in the hire to fire case.

  • You will be only scared of PIP if you think that you do not deserve that offer.
