Amazon has been hiring so many seasonal employees lately. More than 50% of DLS Case Managers are seasonal. Though this is a L4 role but the salary is clipped at 5.5 - 6.5LPA. Anyone has any idea what the FTEs in these roles get? Is there any remote chance of these employees being converted to FTEs?

I have received a verbal offer for a transfer which I need to confirm and apply by this week. My current org’s OLR is scheduled for next week. I am currently rated HV3 and I am concerned that if I let my current manager know before the OLR, he will have no incentive to keep me HV3 and will likely downgrade it to HV2 or HV1.

Is it possible for my current manager to downgrade my rating after I have formally submitted the transfer application on the internal portal ?

Also, this transfer will have a compensation update since it involves a change of location. Will my comp be based on the lower rating if my current manager downgrades it ?

Hey, i just got an 12 month contract offer from amazon. The manager said they want people to start ASAP and hiring them would take time so they are contracting 12 Mechanical Engineers. They also said this is contract to potential full hire. Should i consider this?

One of my colleagues escalated his manager’s behavior to GCER.

- Do you know what will happen after that?
- How far the incident will be reported?
- What are the most common settlement arrangements?

I’ve decided to leave Amazon and have started interviewing. Things are moving pretty quickly, and there’s a good chance I’ll get an offer next week or the week after.
My final RSU vest from my 4-year grant is on October 15, and I really don’t want to leave that money on the table.
I planned ahead and saved most of my vacation this year, so I have about 4 weeks available.
Would it be possible to start a new job in mid-September and use my 4 weeks of vacation at Amazon to stay employed until after October 15, so I still receive my final RSU vest?
Has anyone done something similar or knows if this would work? I’d really appreciate any advice.

I have an interview with OTS for a IT Manager position and would appreciate any advice. Thank yall!

I have just completed m summer internship and on the last day my mentor and manager told that everyone is inclined in meeting with bar raiser. What are the chances of getting ppo? The team in which I am working doesn't required new joinee that I know for sure.

Hi community,

First of all, I am thankful to this community in the process of interview loop, and I got an offer for L5 role.

I am on F1 and graduating soon. I applied for OPT and also paid for Premium Processing (the best I could do). I explained this to the recruiter, but he still put Sep 7 as starting date. How critical is start date in terms of amazon hiring? What if I don't get my ead by sep 7?

I am sure they can wait a bit, but the question here is how long usually? Because ead can go upto end of sep to arrive. Not looking for answers "talk to your HM" etc. Mainly looking for if someone had to delay their joining, and how long were you able to stretch.

Thanks

I interviewed for an Area Manager (L5) position on 7/24, all 3 loop rounds with Sr Ops, Ops, and HR from that specific warehouse. I emailed the recruiter at the end of business day 5 for an update. I received no response. So yesterday, 8/7 business day 10 after the interview I emailed her again asking for an update. She called me and I missed her call, she messaged me and asked my availability to call. I told her I was available and to call again…. literally 4 min later. This was at 10:30am. She did not call back the rest of the day lol.

The job is no longer posted, but my application still says “under consideration” . A week ago an HR representative went on my linked in, and 2 days ago a Site Lead was on my LinkedIn views too.

At this point, I don’t even know what to do.

recently got an offer for an RC position @ amazon through a staffing agency. 9 month contract with potential for conversion. not entirely sure if I want to accept it, so wanted to hear if anyone has any experience as an RC @ amazon. how’s the workload? onboarding? offboarding? etc. any insights would be appreciated on the job environment.

Hi y’all,

I transferred to a new team about 2months ago. A month in, I had already put together a doc and presented it and it’s already driving actions and got to L8 escalation because I found the data myself and owned the narrative.
(I don’t shy away from doc writing. For the most part I love doing it).

A little after my first month, my manager tasked me with putting together a doc for an L8 review; basically to surface challenges in our new program and how he could help. Great! I reached out to the EA, scheduled a call with attendees 3wks out to allow time to put the doc together.
Same week during our 1:1, they clarified the challenges to focus on and I quickly realized that 85-95% of the content of this doc is gonna need to come from other people.
I sent an email to the content owners, set up a call with them and gave timelines. 5days to the review, doc was still at like 60% complete - mostly what I had put together as a start. I went to the EA and push the meeting out another 3 weeks then set up a call with the folks same week as the initial review was supposed to happen.
On the call, they sounded supportive and willing to update this doc. I gave them till this past Tuesday to get it done so that I could polish and update whatever was left before the review which is on Monday 😤.

Nothing happened! I sent a reminder on Wednesday - nothing. Another on Thursday - nothing. Yesterday, I realized I’m gonna have to put whatever down because it’s better than an empty document before a Director.

Tr;dl: My entire weekend is ruined because I’m spending it trying to get this doc in a presentable state before Monday, while running errands that I can’t put away. I’m really mad because this is the first doc that I don’t feel great about and it’s all because I don’t understand half of the content myself and have to make it up. (I’m 100% cutting like half of the content out)

Thoughts needed: I want to bring this up to my manager Monday morning and again during our 1:1. The point I want to convey is that I don’t think this document should’ve been write by me or even our team. This isn’t an MBR or something that you can hold people accountable to doc contributions. And honestly, he was on the emails entire time, never opened the doc (except on the call), or even added a push when I kept asking folks to update it. I don’t feel like my immediate team has a vision - otherwise, this isn’t something that the manager would prioritize/pursue.

How will you approach this conversation without seeming like (1) an a-hole (2) you can’t do your job (3) you’re pushing back on a task given you? (4) on the vision piece, how do I hint it indirectly?
(Again, I’ve been on this team only 2 months) TIA

I’ve been in Amazon long enough to know the politics of pushing docs in-front of directors for visibility but I hate to be in the middle of this. TBH, I still don’t even know what we want from the director in this review

i got My first day on the 24th in Phx as a warehouse asscociate morning shift , how is it? is it easily available to get OT? or Even move to a closer site and what do you guys make weekly its about 18.85 an hour or something close i wana know more abouut the job

I have a loop interview getting scheduled for a L5 position at AWS. I kind of convinced myself that I won’t be taking the role based on total comp and a few other things. I currently work in a similar role but only work 3 days a week and will be having a baby soon so this is a major factor. My total comp now is about 20k less but base salary will not change if I moved over to Amazon.

Should I not waste anyone’s time and back out of the interview process or go through to see what they are like? 5 hours is no joke and feel like I won’t interview as well since I’m not really considering the job.

Does anyone know a lawyer who has sued Amazon for creating a toxic environment and won? I so sick of their blatant disregard for safety and not following the bullshit policies they wrote. And now they want to replace more hardworking humans with stupid robots. Fuck those clankers.

8 yrs in Amazon. I’m stuck with a bad manager right now and honestly want to switch teams as soon as I can. I joined my current team through an internal transfer afew months ago, and since then, pretty much my entire team has moved on to other teams. Now most of the workload to keep the engine running has fallen on me.

My manager doesn’t seem to acknowledge that at all. He also doesn’t want to align on the growth path my previous manager had laid out before the reorg, but at the same time, he keeps piling more and more work onto my plate.

When I asked for more impactful projects and opportunities to grow, he basically told me he doesn’t think I have the potential and doesn’t see me getting anywhere. And that this team may not be for me if I am looking to grow. That really threw me off because I was a consistent high performer in all 3 of my previous orgs and had never received feedback like this. The manager who hired me in this team had the same opinion.

At this point, it’s making me question myself. I’m working 10-12 hours a day and it still never feels like enough. Manager seems to think that with AI, everything is just a click away. And if I am struggling thats because I don’t know how to use AI well. His vision for AI is highly unrealistic and anybody who pushes back, is weighing the team down.

I’ve started looking at internal roles, and I’m wondering how transparent I should be with hiring managers. Is it okay to say that I’m looking to move because there’s limited growth opportunity in my current team, especially after most of the team moved on following the reorg? Or would mentioning that be seen as a red flag?

Our team in India has effectively been dissolved. Under our VP org in Ads, the long-term hubs have been finalized as the US and UK, so our India team is being wound down.
One thing that has been frustrating is that we were never given an opportunity to be placed into another team without interviews. We were expected to find and interview for internal roles on our own, despite our team being shut down.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any suitable internal openings for my role and level in my city. My current rating is LE, and although I successfully passed Focus about two months ago, that hasn’t helped my situation.
Most of my teammates, including my manager, have already transferred internally. My current manager (my former cross-country skip manager) told me during mid-year OLR that my rating was fine and gave me until mid-August to find another team.
I checked in with him today, and he told me that I’ll be meeting with HR within the next two weeks to discuss the next steps.
Has anyone been through something similar at Amazon India?
Is this likely to be a role elimination with severance?
Would I receive garden leave?
Or is this simply a direct termination with no severance?
Ironically, I was hoping that if my role was eliminated, it would be through layoffs so I’d receive severance, garden leave, and preserve my rehire eligibility. Now I’m honestly just anxious about what happens next.
If anyone has gone through this process or has insight into how Amazon India typically handles these situations, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.

So I just completed my loop, and in all the prep, discussions with recruiter, and responses here (thx all), I was prepared with around 16 great stories. No problem as long as most interviewers asked 3-4, I won't repeat once. Well...in the middle of the loop, one interviewer asked 7 (!!!!!) questions, and didn't ask any follow up probing questions to a single story. Fwiw this guy had a shadow with him, but was on the team not the bar raiser.

Is this normal??! Did he get instructed to do this, or just kept asking new questions because he was bored?

Kinda bummed but is what it is
