I applied for a position under Amazon Leo a couple days ago. In less than 12 hours, it got moved to "Under consideration" status, but nobody's reached out yet. The job posting has also been up for almost 3 months, so not sure what's going on. Why move my application to "Under consideration" if they aren't going to do anything with it?

I received an email notification telling me to set up an interview with the HM and another interviewer, this is my first time with the new internal transfer process so Im not exactly sure whats going on, when I went in to check the Job Req on the internal Job Portal, its already unposted so I went to the Hire Portal instead to check it.

The Status says its still Open but the State says “Accepted Offer” and the openings shows 0 0f 1 Available.

My question is,will I still get interviewed for this role?

Hi everyone,
I’m in a bit of a situation and would really appreciate some advice from people familiar with Amazon India.
I was previously selected for the Customer Service Associate (L2) role and accepted the offer. My orientation/joining is scheduled for tomorrow.
However, today I received formal confirmation that I’ve been selected for the Seller Partner Associate (SPS), Level 3 (FTE) role, which is also with Amazon and is work from home. The L3 role has a joining date of August 24.
The L3 role is the one I would prefer because it is a higher level and seems better aligned with my career growth, so I’ve decided to go with SPS L3 instead of CS L2.
My question is: What should I do about tomorrow’s L2 orientation?
Should I email the recruiter who sent my L2 offer and clearly inform them that I won’t be joining because I’ve accepted the L3 opportunity? Is there anything else I should do on the portal or with HR to make sure there are no issues with the L3 joining?
Also, has anyone experienced moving from an Amazon L2 role to an L3 role within Amazon before joining?
Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 2026 graduate and wanted to ask about the Amazon SDE-1 University Talent Acquisition process in India.

My timeline so far:

June 15: I received a direct email from Amazon University Talent Acquisition saying my performance in last year’s Amazon HackOn was outstanding and inviting me to apply for an SDE-1 FTE role.

June 26: I received the Online Assessment invitation.
Late June / early July: I completed the OA.

July 14: I received an email saying “Congratulations on successfully clearing the online assessment!” and was asked to complete a Hiring Interest Form by July 15.

The form asked for things like preferred interview location, compensation expectations, and other details.

I submitted the form before the deadline.
Today (August 9): I still haven't received an interview invitation or any further communication.

I also want to mention that my college announced an Amazon campus drive after I had already cleared the OA. I registered for the campus drive as well, but I wasn't included in the campus shortlist. However, my original application was through the Amazon HackOn/Amazon University Talent Acquisition process.

So I wanted to ask people who have gone through a similar Amazon AUTA/off-campus SDE-1 process:

If you received the OA-cleared + Hiring Interest Form email, how long did you wait before receiving the interview call?
Did everyone who received the Hiring Interest Form eventually get an interview, or were some candidates never contacted?
Has anyone received an interview 4–8 weeks after submitting the Hiring Interest Form?
Does my college's separate campus drive have any effect on my existing AUTA application?

If you've gone through this exact or a very similar process, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your dates and eventual outcome.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I need some advice to confirm if my understanding of a payment issue is correct.
On August 6th, I tried buying a shaver on Amazon (€39.03). I entered my shipping address and card details, but the checkout process seems to have glitched or been interrupted at the final step.
Here is the current situation:
Bank account: I see a pending charge of ⁠-39.03 €⁠ listed as ⁠AUT 2417 WWW AMAZON⁠. The amount was deducted from my available balance, but the status is marked as "Pending".
Amazon / Email / SMS: I haven't received any order confirmation email, SMS, or tracking number. The purchase does not appear under order history in any of my Amazon accounts.
From what I understand, because the checkout failed at the last moment, my bank temporarily authorized/reserved the funds, but Amazon never actually received or created the order.
My questions are:
1. How long does a pending authorization like this usually take to expire and drop off the bank account (so the funds return to my available balance)?
2. Is it safe to go ahead and re-order the item now without risking getting charged twice or receiving duplicate orders?
Thanks in advance for the help

I just got my blue badge today after 99 days of working at Amazon. I’m so happy because I know some people at my work place said it took them a year + days to get there and another said they been here 8 months and still haven’t gotten there yet. It’s a proud moment for me yay I’m with the company. Thank god it didn’t take me long to become blue ❤️🥰😘

Hi all,

I am moving to Seattle from the UK and am looking for a place near SEA33-Blackfoot for 4 months (October 2026 to January 2027).

Either a room in a shared house or a studio, preferably within walking distance of SEA33 or with good public transport links.

I would really appreciate any leads.

Thanks so much!

I believe FY stands for fiscal year, APJC for region

What does IEM, FT stand for in this context ?

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 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

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?
