Netflix always has pressure of getting fired and mostly it’s a surprise. Regret my decision of joining on H1B, planning on leaving soon.

Yeah I was listening to a podcast with the former head of HR that designed their policy seems pretty damn ruthless but I guess whatever keeps the lights on?

RIP Amazon and Netflix. I thought Facebook hands out more PIPs judging by the number of posts.

Amazon 22/7 Apr 26, 2019

FB is more intense than Amazon. Many Amazonians are in happy hours now who aren’t voting. On the other hand many FB-ians are committing code right now, so they’re not voting either!

Is amazon really that bad? I’m joining not as a developer

Amazon 22/7 Apr 26, 2019

Then you’re really fkd! Devs at Amazon have 10x easier than other tracks.

I thought most horror stories were from engineers and devs

PIP happens everywhere. From the smallest shops to biggest orgs. Some places are just better at hiding it. Don’t ever think for one second an employer has a heart. They’ll cut you and turn a blind eye to save their own ass.
