Does Amazon give yearly cost of living raises?? Like the 3-5% that other companies give? What typically happens at the comp review with your manager? And what avg percentage increase did employees see this year? Amazon

I would love to know what companies give cost of living raises. With inflation all I’ve heard from every company I’ve ever worked for is they don’t give those raises only performance based

I just thought it was a given lol

No they do not. Even with favorable reviews I only got a 1.5% increase in my base last year and this year even with 7% inflation I got a 0% increase. However I was not promoted. Just “meets high bar”. There’s three levels: needs improvement, meets high bar, and exceeds high bar.

Been at AWS for 3 years and don't know a single person whom hasn't got at least a 3% increase every year, even poor performers.

Interesting. I’m in robotics and got a 1.5% increase first year with a achieved high bar rating and idk what I’m getting this year yet

Depends on factors like last year’s job performance, job family, regions. Seeing more increases than last year in EU for a given rating.

yes, performance has a lot to do with it and it can be hard to meet that threshold

Amazon used to get around this by saying your RSU growth was your raise. It’s painfully obvious now how employees lose money year to year. But no, you won’t get and inflation bump

since1.6 years with amazon, the hike is ( i got three hikes) all ranging in between 3% to 5% max

Companies don’t just give cost of living increases. Some companies I’ve worked at give annual merit raises anywhere from 0-3% per year. It’s based on performance, meaning everyone doesn’t get the same increase.
