Anyone ever heard of Amazon giving more vacation days than allotted on their website? New hires are listed at 80 hrs, I’m currently at 160 elsewhere. Is it possible to negotiate 160 as a new hire?

California employees start with more hours of PTO. Start with 120 hrs then 160 at year one and increases again at 5+. Plus two extra paid holidays. I recently received an offer for Santa Monica and it was all in my offer email. I believe it’s park of the California employee protection laws.

Nope. Never have seen this.

Nope. Vacation isn’t negotiable

Never

None negotiable. Even says it on the offer letter email. Good luck!

Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.
