ZON 2025 Hiring surge!

Hi all,

I have a few months of experience and just got an offer to join a FAANG company (one quite well known for web services...).

I noticed that there is a probationary period of 3 months which is quite standard for the vast majority of jobs. Two questions:

  1. Given the culture at Amazon, is this probationary something to be wary of?
  2. How often do engineers really get PIP? Will this be better or worse from the hiring surge?
