I'm L4 at Amazon, I was terrified to join when I got the offer because of the horrible stories here about wlb and pip. I actually love working there I've learned ton already, manager is awesome and listening, we get daily anonymous survey and manager takes it very seriously to improve. I have great wlb and we didn't have any one put on pip for the longest even tho we have low a performer in the team. Manager is helping me for the next promotion already and put me on a project to drive.
Maybe they're trying to improve and fix their reputation? Or it's just a good manager? Anyone in Amazon having positive experience or just 🍌🍌?

Cons:
- Kinda "Introvert" team, don't talk about anything non work related
- bad vesting schedule
- frugality 😭😭😭

    Lesson #1 - never believe your manager. Backstabbing is actually a thing at Amazon.

      I don’t think so. I have jumped several ships in the past and I think it’s better than many other companies that matters. You have a bad managers/Projects just like others who gave 3.2 ratings. Amazon employs millions and not everyone in those millions is happy. Look at Walmart. Same boat.

      When did you join? Perhaps you're starry eyed and others have finished several laps at the company? It looks like you're basing your experience off one manager for a whole company and that one nice manager in Amazon feels like a unicorn

    Just to be clear, many of the people bullying Amazon are from Amazon.

    And most of the reasons for bullying Amazon (PIP, WLB, 🍌, 5/15/40/40) came from Amazon employees too.

      Have to give it to Amazon and Bezos though. They ought to be bloody smart to have kept employees working for years with peanuts in yearly appraisals. How's it even possible one might think! A year's inflation rate is higher than Amazon's annual appraisal %.

    You lucked out.
    It is ok while you are green.
    Once you realize what you are capable of and outgrow your team and SDM, you'll feel "stuck", under appreciated and under compensated for the value you bring in to the team.
    So enjoy while it lasts. You are in the honeymoon phase
