There are refresh equity grants unless you are on a PIP. Now you know what all the fucking PIPs are all about at Amazon (other than blocking your transfer).

You should not listen to what anyone at Amazon tells you.

Did you notice the part where I worked at Amazon in-house for a year? I was a consultant for them for six month before that as well.

And my experience was pretty awesome. I did hear about PIP issues, though. That does suck. I'd probably just quit if it happened to me. I have a low tolerance for crap at work.

I like the "get severance pay" strategy someone mentioned. I was only working there at all because the money and people were great.
