Amazon Program Manager Hyderabad / Secunderabad 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.

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

Lots of opportunities to learn. Lots of teams to work for. Good base pay if you are promoting internally. You have internally job portal to move to different teams.

Dislikes

No work life balance No work from home, mandatory work from office. Sometimes we work alone on whole floor due to people on rotational shifts and offs Too much micro management No job security, no matter how good performance you have, evey year team should remove 1 or 2 people and the person could be anyone You need to use own time if you want to do some interesting project Many of the roles on job portal are actually on hold or decided for someone You will see the job responsibilities will be different after you join the team...Read More

Zero consideration of employees. Absolutely no respect of personal time. They ping/call you even if you are on sick leave. HR does not approve post hospitalisation sick leaves. They want this to be annual leave
