Is Blind just full of Amazon LEs?

I’ve noticed anytime someone mentions Amazon regardless of context someone brings up how they got PIPed or declaring someone else (ex: OP) gonna get PIPed. As far as I’m aware Amazon only PIPs out 5% of the company but on Blind it sounds like 90%. Is Blind heavily consisting of that 5%? Seems like lots of jaded Amazonians here.

    I didn’t get PIP at Amazon, but I still wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I hated it there, but maybe just because I’d experienced 2 other FAANGs and it didn’t measure up IMO.

      This. I was a top performer and worked at other companies, and Amazon was definitely not for me (I had massive stress/anxiety to the point where my SO was asking me to quit Amazon). I would only recommend Amazon if you get a substantial comp bump or are from a no-name company (and even then only if Amazon pays more).

    Even if folks aren’t up for PIP, the fear of getting PIPed is pervasive within the culture

      Fear of PIP is a personal deficiency. It's pretty easy to meet expectations, unless you really suck. Being anxious about PIP is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Just move to EBS or EC2 Dataplane for few months and then see if you still think the same

  • More people get managed out for bad performance at facebook than i remember from amazon, but amazon will do it without much care or empathy and you’ll get some public humiliation over your mistakes along the way.
