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

Amazon is a great place to work however if your new to the industry or fresher its better to go a challenging roles in Amazon and keep your options open for skills based roles. Will not recommend any role with is not based on the IT skills.

Dislikes

... in the beginning but you will regret staying more than 2 years with out growth. Benefits like stock compensation practices and transportation and Sodexo for food are getting older and needs a rise since it has not changed since its inception in India.

Dislikes

They will promise you to promote and pay you more and ask you to work on a different job role but will never pay for 12 months or so..this is happening recently not in past....no faith or trust on leadership

Likes

People, opportunity to learn and get visibility on other departments

Dislikes

Salary compensation, they trick you in terms of giving joining bonus, though once it is over it does get compensated with appraisal but in reality you will take home same for straight 3 years and then it will reduce.

Likes

Salary is good according to market standards.

Dislikes

There is no personal life left after 10 hour shift. Rotating shift every week deprives you of sleep and health goes for a toss. Join corporate amazon, but no FC or sort centre if you want a happy life.
