Amazon Principal Product Manager Reviews

Likes

Amazon hai great metors to learn from and has a very fast moving environment where things change very quickly which is exciting and makes it a great place to work.

Dislikes

Post Covid this company has made some drastic changes which make it a little difficult to recommend people to join this company. Also I noticed a changed in culture of how teams are working now they don't push for innovation they just want to crunch numbers.

I like Nothing about amazon supply chain

Dislikes

I hate Everything about Amazon supply chain. Program Managers and L7 misbehave. Don't join teams with managers Divya Kapoor, Samaddar Indranil and Aseem Khosla. They all take grudge on employees. Favouritism and groupism is their forte. If you have no choice then join but take IJP in 6 months.

Likes

Policy in terms of leaves Mechanisms for career development Ability to move between teams Ofcourse the above mentioned pointer will only work of you have a manager who is supportive

Dislikes

Lack of Manger accountability No support or start point for ambiguous projects Every l7 or l6 wants to launch their own process and AI while not considering the bigger picture.

The company culture is quite amazing. People's opinions are respected. You get a lot of leaves in terms of SL, CL, and AL and at L4 or higher level while availing these leaves you don't have to give a reason for that. Amazon has free LinkedIn Learning as well as a lot of KNET modules for both tech and non-tech domains. All the festivals are pompously celebrated in offices especially if you're from the operation's team....Read More

Dislikes

The major dissatisfaction is the salary structure where we have an illusion of high CTC but the in-hand salary is peanuts in comparison to others. The new joiners at L4 or higher level have a joining bonus which stops after 2 years and they keep your base salary low. All the increment happens on your already low base pay. If you seethe Stocks aka RSUs are vested over 4 years with cycles of year 1 - 5%, year 2 - 15%, year 3 - 40%, and year 4 - 40%. But the stocks are allocated so late that it effectively takes 5 years to vest all the RSUs offered at the joining. If you do not get a promotion within 1st 2 years, you will see a drop in salary due to the stoppage of the joining bonus. Your salary will increase within those 4 years if you get a promotion otherwise either it will drop or remain the same. Also, earlier the promotions were quarterly declared so a lot of internal promotions were available. now the policy has changed where promotions will be available only when openings are there....Read More

Dislikes

Leadership, micromanaging, If you are part of AFBP, and you decide to move out of the program, the HR will harrass you to a point where you'll either quit or they'll put you on PIP to fire you on performance. It's a nightmare how HRs are trying to cover up how disastrous their AFBP program was. Even with an offer from another manager HR quoted to me -"Can't let you leave the program, if you try we've other ways"....Read More

You will get to learn a lot new things that will surely help you in boosting your career in the future. Biggest benefit is Work Life Balance, no one will ask you for your leaves. You are a free bird. Also if you are at senior or leadership position, you will get many benefits and great perks

Dislikes

At certain level/field you will get the bare minimum salary and less perks, promotion chances are also too less or it will take much longer than expected time.

Dislikes

No work life balance, they expect you to give your complete day and even weekends for office work. Lot of people in higher management without proper process knowledge who are screwing others just to remain in the process, take their promotion and move on to a different team because they already messed up their previous team just for their own personal benefits.
