Should you switch from Wipro to Amazon?
Wipro scores 32/100 (moderate risk) against Amazon's 54/100 (high) for Engineering roles in India — a 22-point gap. What sits behind the gap: Amazon has confirmed 3,923 roles across 5 announcements in the past year against none at Wipro, and Amazon has 2 employee-reported layoffs in the last 30 days against none at Wipro. Cutting the other way, Amazon's risk fell 10 points over the last 30 days while Wipro's held flat.
Direction matters as much as level. Over the last 30 days Wipro's risk score held flat and Amazon's fell 10 points. That is narrowing the gap, so the current verdict is the weaker of the two readings — check it again before you sign anything.
On confirmed events, Wipro has no confirmed layoff in the past year. Amazon has 5 confirmed layoffs totalling 3,923 disclosed roles, the latest on Jul 22. Confirmed cuts are the heaviest input to the score and they decay on a half-life rather than expiring, so a large recent round keeps weighing on a company for months while an old one fades gradually.
In the last seven days: Amazon shed 3 points: its Jul 22 cut of 1,110 roles decaying out of the window, 36 days on; and a WARN notice filed with a state labour department this week.
Employee sentiment, blended from anonymous reports and the data signals, reads stable at Wipro and nervous at Amazon, though on only 2 employee reports between them in the last 30 days. Sentiment moves earlier than confirmed events but is far noisier, so treat it as a leading indicator rather than a score.
One caveat worth stating plainly: this compares employer-level risk, not your risk. Any engineering role on a revenue-critical team at the riskier company can be safer than a cost-centre role at the safer one. Read the score as the weather, not the forecast for your specific seat.
