It’s probably safer than wherever you are leaving from

Amazon generally doesn’t have layoffs outside of when a business unit shuts down. Even then people are generally absorbed back elsewhere.

It’s impossible to lose your job here so I’d say it’s very safe.

funny

Lol. 18k folks laid off recently. And it’s considered very safe?

Don’t.

It depends which side of Amazon you are on. Some are stable, others have a PIP culture.

Normally PIP happens across the board as we have Unregretted Attrition where we cut out the bottom 6% for certain parts of the business. It’s frankly hard to find out where it happens the most - but often it’s in teams with low turnover.

If you are looking for an easy, cushy 9-5 job - Amazon won’t be the place. If you can handle pressure, conflicts and are a self starter it’s pretty awesome to work :)

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
