Politics in promotions? Happens everywhere, not just Amazon. The key is to outshine with your work. Now, how will you do that?

Despite your outstanding contributions and the value you bring to the table, leaders often prioritize individuals who are closer to them.

Not true. Everyone thinks they have worked hard. If your work isn’t making sense to leadership then its fair to reward less hardworking individual who actually made some impact.

Yes. Promotion depends on the manager and other higher up stakeholders. It's not fully meritocracy driven.

Yeah. Also “diversity” candidates precede the stack these days just cuz it’s a L8 org metric!

Employees working in FAANG - What's does the annual appraisal look like for weak/mid/top performers? Also, I'm more interested in the appraisal figures without promotion. But, feel free to share promotion numbers as well.

People in my organization recently went through performance appraisal and like every time, the manager does not reveal employees’ rating. This is most likely a scam as the employees are rated and the ratings are recorded in the system but not revealed. Is it how we have in other organizations? Add your comments.

Ratings not revealed during appraisal. A scam?

So basically the title. By abroad here I mean western countries such as UK, USA, Europe, Canada and also includes Australia. If office politics is an Indian phenomenon then why is it so and how we can make Indian corporate setup healthy?

Is office politics an Indian phenomenon or does it also happen in abroad?

My college placements are going on and I am having a really hard time figuring out what and how much should you know to clear an interview. Some people are asked very hard dsa and dev concepts while others are asked fundamentals and basics sometimes even in the same company. My question is simple what do you guys expect from us as a fresher?

How much should you know to crack an interview?

I left the product design team of Nykaa a few days back & I foresee things going from bad to nasty. My x colleagues are telling me how a large bunch of folks are put on PIP deliberately. Almost all of them have gotten no or single digit appraisal. Just this week they are now forcing even the Tech. Employees to work from office for 5 days a week, this will ensure that a lot of people will eventually leave the company. The new CTO is just trying to bring the amazon work culture, don’t be surprised to hear some bad news about Nykaa in coming days. The fashion business is itself struggling to make business, Superstore might not make any profits anytime soon.

Things aren’t good at Nykaa

I've recently interviewed with Amazon, and the experience was shit. Although I exceeded all the expectations set, I was Not hired because they had made that specific role for internal candidates only. Why do these people waste our time if they have no intention in hiring outside people... Such a waste..

Hi guys

I am working in L3 role at one of the Amazon fresh FC in Mumbai. My job has gotten super hectic since past month. The expectation set by leadership is simply unreasonable. I am responsible for the entire operations that happens in warehouse. They are now asking me to run an entire FC with very minimal manpower which is even theoretically impossible. I feel bad for the blue collars who work under me as they are literally breaking their back so that we can be "customer obsessed"

Please help me know how to escape this shit. I am yet to reach the saturation point and when that's gonna hit I am just gonna put in my papers. I deserve better than this.

I don't know any programming languages but I have engineering background. I have enrolled for DSA course and have completed only the python module of it. This was two years ago. I am now looking for ERP consulting roles however since Amazon has its own ERP developed I can't get any handson experience with ERP tool like SAP, infor, Oracle etc.

I want to transition into a tech/IT role possibly related to supply chain. What should I do now?

Need help escaping Amazon

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof

2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. 

Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings )

Market correction is necessary.

Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What's wrong with salaries

If you are paid less, don’t extrapolate it on others. If they are willing to wait, let them. You should keep praying for “corrections”.
