401K Plan

Decent 401k with 4% company match, but would like to see the company get a little more aggressive within plan for long-tenured employees, as well as offer a component that matches a % for philanthropy/donations.

2% match which doesn't vest until after 2 years

They match only 50% of the employees contribution.

4% match. Hilarious and absurd.

50 cents on the dollar for up to 4% of income (so 2%)? Less than other employers in the same business. Also, 3 year vesting? With the average turnaround here being less than 2 years. Don't even count on this benefit.

They will match 50% up to 2% of your salary (you contribute 4%). The employer match is in Amazon Stock, but can be moved to balance portfolio once vested.

Average 401k. They match .50 on the dollar of what you contribute.

$0.50 on the dollar up to your first 4% deduction (translation, 2% maximum match) which is below the standard 3% at many places. Two service years (defined as 1,000 hours in a calendar year) required to get ANY of the company match. Other tech companies (Microsoft) have no vesting period. Vanguard administers the 401(k) and their website is abysmal and the selection of funds is very limited. They do offer a 401(k) Roth, but there's no ability contribute post-tax funds after you reach the federal limit, currently $17,500. The Amazon plan has also failed IRS qualifying audits in some years meaning highly paid employees who contributed at max had their part of their money rejected and returned. Ouch.

Doesn't really match up that well. I think its 50% match-up maxing out at 4% of your salary

Their 401k plan is lame compared to other top IT companies. match 50% for up to 4% of your income. So that means they will add 2% at the maximum.
