Amazon Program Manager Reviews

Likes

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

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

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
