Salary is good

Dislikes

You are just a number to the company and will be dropped whenever your manager feels so. Your manager have 100% authority and you have no say in it. If you disagree on anything and are not a yesman, be ready to be dropped real soon.

The salary structure is good.

Dislikes

You wont get any appreciation even if you work day and night. They expect 200% out of you and even if you give your 200%, you won't get any appreciation because that is what is expected. If you are performing good, that is average according to them and you will always be told to raise the bar. Job security is very less. But it always depends on the team.

The office is great and you have best in industry compensation.

Dislikes

Worst work life balance. The managers have to ask you to work at least 10 hrs a day and the work 12. Your performance is measured against the team so if everyone is working 12 hours and you can work 8 you will always be the bottom performer. Promotions are project based so if your.projects gets halted for any reason not you own so does your promotion.

Dislikes

With the exception of salary-related disparities that also exist within the hierarchical levels, the working environment at Amazon India is distressing. It lacks adequate work-life balance, necessitating the review of emails even late at night due to the centralized control from Seattle, which operates during typical sleep hours. The implementation of a somewhat arbitrary 14-point policy is noticeable, selectively enforced based on convenience. The quality of group meetings is subpar. The promotion of negative behavior among colleagues is encouraged, given that performance evaluations hinge not on assessments from superiors, but rather on appraisals from fellow employees, who concurrently serve as competitors.
