I voluntarily left Amazon, after I was placed on PIP that drove me to take FMLA for mental health. Truly believe that it was one person (not my manager) who drove me to be placed on a PIP and was thinking of applying for rehire. In a completely different org. We all know about the PIP work culture that AWS pushes, wondering if that would impede me if I applied again. | Glassdoor Forum

If you have a pip that started means you went through focus/pivot and then pip, which means you are tagged as URA. Minimum no hire time is 5 years.

September 19, 2024 - With L10 approval, you could be rehired any time. Trust me L8 has no skin in the game for that. Things to note, an L8 would have to value you enough to reach out to a 10 to request that. You’ll find many 8’s not wasting valuable face time with a VP for that ...

r/amazonemployees on Reddit: Amazon rehire policy post PIP
April 28, 2025 -

I’ve been contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a role and the first screening is also scheduled. I got PIPed from Amazon 5 years ago and in my knowledge a PIP means not eligible for rehire. If this is true, I am wondering how it didn’t get flagged for the recruiter in the first place. Will this be surfaced later in the process if I pass the interviews?

Five years you’re good to go for rehire from a PIP. That being said - I’ve never seen someone come back. It’s still going to be marked on your profile and it’s just a red flag a lot of HMs are gonna see and, in today’s job market, why even risk it when there’s tons of other candidates out there who have no issues? So unless you’re the second coming of Christ in your field I wouldn’t get your hopes up super high.

I went through the PIP in 2020 with bad management at that time. I recently got laid off from my current company due to org restructure and an Amazon recruiter reached out . So it has been 5 years since the PIP . With the job market the way it is I’m in a mindset to take anything that comes in my way . Before I invest the time prepping and attending interviews I am trying to understand how this will impact my interview chain / offer and potentially if I get hired

r/amazonemployees on Reddit: Can i get rehired if i fail PIP?
June 14, 2024 -

I work at Amazon India’s Hyderabad office. My performance was low for the past few months, and I was put on an observation plan in mid-May. Although my performance improved, it didn’t meet my manager's expectations becuase My scores were compared weekly with India team's average, while others were compared monthly.If i compare on monthly basis , my performance was only about 2-3% below the team's average after being put in observation.

Starting this August, I was put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and asked to perform above the team average in productivity on a weekly basis. I can perform above the team average if compared on monthly, but since i am being compared on a weekly basis i might fail because my performance was lower this week than the teams average.I’m worried that failing to meet this week's target might cause me to fail the PIP. (Side note:- since they are reducing the team even top performers who were FTC have not had their contracts extended.)

I want to know if i apply for job at amazon in same department :-

  1. Can it be a possibility to get rehired in the future if I fail the PIP due to performance issues ?

  2. if I am reassigned at the time of PIP, will it affect my chances of being re-hired? Will i be blacklisted for lifetime ? What can I do now to improve my chances so that i can get rehired again in the future?

any one from amazon india please tell. Or any HR from amazon (anywhere )have any info regarding this please help.

Also how can being put in PIP affect me finding new job ? During bg check for new company will amzon tell that i was not performing well so i was fired?

From Amazon's point of view, I don't see why they would rehire you. Why take back someone who didn't already work out when they have no shortage of people wanting to work for them?
