Hi people! I just got invited to the final round of interviews (Loop) with Amazon. The recruiter was talking to me about the compensation expectations and stuff and it honestly sounds like sh!t that I don’t get fully vested on the initial bonus until 4 years have passed. I searched online and employees say they hate it (mostly) and that they are always trying to get rid of people since they are always “raising the bar.” Can I get some real input? My base is currently higher.

Based on the performance in the interview you will be allocated a TCT - Total Compensation Target. This is what they aim to pay you per year

In year 1 and 2, the TCT should be primarily base salary + signing bonus. In year 3 and 4 it’s more heavily weighted towards RSUs.

I went from a base of $190k to a base of $153600 at AWS, but my TCT was $315000. Right now my projected salary for next year is about $380k

Jumping in on the thread to see if you’re still open to making a referral/helping someone new get in the door at Amazon? I’m in Nashville, 12+ yrs legit exec business experience, Master’s, refs. etc. Have just starting applying for new roles/making a change after successful career transition/want new start. I began by applying for several roles at Amazon today—all non engineering (Bus & Merch Dev, Buying, BI, PM, Ops, etc). I don’t have any personal contacts at Amazon, so would be crazy grateful for someone helping—I will reflect positively on you!

What’s your current base now and projected yearly base? They do that because they don’t want to reward low performers that become dead weight and remain stagnant after getting to a certain level of salary. If you’re good at what you do your RSUs get refreshed and can even increase based on performance.

Feel free to ask questions (also I’m not at EY anymore, just haven’t changed my Fishbowl profile)

My current base is $185K. They are telling me the Amazon base would be $140-$160K and then, whenever they offer you a bonus or stock, you don’t actually get it until after several years later. That part is ridiculous. Also, I read that their 401K matching is a meager 2% (50% of 4% contribution). That’s literally nothing.

If you don’t care about culture and can play petty politics then go for it.

Gotta love how companies treat people. I get invited to the Loop. I get asked for availability and then, I get ghosted after providing it.

Now, would amazon be a company you’d want to work for if they treat you like this during the hiring process?

When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
