Anyone who worked at both Amazon. com (Seattle) and in Cisco WebEx Team? (Bay area) Would love to hear your experience and how you compare both the companies. I am a new grad and need to decide between these two companies.
What webex team. Or what area. Webex meetings (old WebEx) is for the most part in China (r&d).
The WebEx team in San Jose
WebEx is a shitshow. Micro management is the new normal. Constant performance evaluation. Lots of managing upward. I’d say take your energy to Amazon. Comp should be better and it will set you up better for the next move.
No I haven't worked at both but only at one. Based on that I am not qualified to respond. But if u r still reading, once at Cisco, getting to any FAANG will not be easy. The question need to be about Bay Area vs Seattle not Amazon vs Cisco. My 2 cents would be go to Amazon despite depressing Seattle weather, learn a ton, after building your credibility make switch internally to Bay Area in same team or different. I have lived in both places.
Okay.. thank you for your input. Do you work in Cisco WebEx team? Or in any other team in Cisco.
I have seen lot of folks from Cisco took a job in Seattle and switched to Palo Alto Amazon after 12 months.. Most of these commutes to Seattle weekly ..
