The salary structure is good.

Salary - 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.

Salary - Excellent

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.

How I landed my first few internships, no sugarcoating, honest truth➡️

Internship hunting was tough. I applied everywhere. Naukri, Indeed, career pages… and most of the time? SILENCE. Then, a senior told me about this whatsapp group where you get direct HR contacts from top companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Zomato, Tata etc. I was doubtful. (HRs ghost most of the time anyway 😬) But I tried. Cold-mailed. Followed up. And guess what? STILL NOTHING! Because the fact is that most of the times such groups and communities are used for marketing and not for actually helping candidates. So I got back to job portals and kept on applying for another few months, and FINALLY... Still no response! Then I finally called my uncle who was working in a big Mnc. Got real responses, real conversations, referrals and eventually, an internship! So the honest fact about jobs & internships is, NETWOKING is very important!
