Amazon Business Operations Manager salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Only good thing about Amazon is that they provide competitive compensation and other perquisites like ESOP/insurance in the industry.

Dislikes

I have worked with Amazon for 5 years. It might be good as an organization/brand, but their Indian leadership don't really deserve to be called out as leaders. They have zero empathy for employees. They can freely neglect HR policies as per their convenience without worrying about anything/anybody.

Compensation, Offsites and team building,

Dislikes

While Amazon has great working culture, it still does not have basic technology to track daily metrics, everything is done manually. The promotion process is biased and subjected to a Manager's perception, rather than the employee's rating or performance. In the 18 months , I have not heard about my goals and my performance against it, though I checked with my manager a few times before I gave up. The business leaders at Seattle don't get complete visibility of what is happening in Bangalore and hence, most managers working here are unhappy. Work from home is frowned upon and parallel process to the Amazon WFH policy is followed.

The only thing good here is salary and other perks are better than other companies

Dislikes

Very strict login timings. 10hrs shift making no sense of 5day work week. Internal politics in promotions. It is based on tenure and not on the amount of work you are doing

Likes

Except the Compensation nothing else is good,

Dislikes

senior managers need a target every year to terminate, no work ethics they do not know what KPI is and measured if 15 team members is there and all meet their targets which is productivity, no errors etc however is last in the stack is put on PIP Which is not ideal for the end user Scorecards that cannot be automated by the l4 manager is considered as a negative point and the manager is removed from the company

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.

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 see the 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.
