Have heard bad things about Amazon and its WLB. But the brand name is better than Oracle. Which one do you folks recommend?
OCI is going to die. If you go there the TC better be amazing to make up for a dead end job
What are the offers?
Why are you leaving?
At your level, why are you worried about brand, anyway you have MS under your belt
Oracle is dead. Amazon isn't great but is far far better than Oracle and generally superior to Microsoft. Oracle is where people who can't get into Amazon work.
I've worked at both Oracle and Amazon. Let me tell you, I would go back to Oracle, but I would never go back to Amazon :)
"Generally superior to Microsoft" LOL, also I have not met a person thus far who has not been able to clear an Amazon interview.
Amazon people saying great things about themselves and bashing MS always. Clear indication of inferiority complex. Here is opinion from the other side: Amazon is shittiest company in the world where most of the people leave within 2 years. Why? Toxic culture, forced under leveled people, shitty people from MS who joined Amazon (more explaination coming) Do you know who from MS joins Amazon? People who are about to be fired, ZR and IRs. They can't stay in MS and nobody else will hire them. Obvious place to join Amazon, yay! Now go and suck blood of your colleagues.
And Microsoft's culture isn't toxic? Secret high-po programs, projects that only exist so long as there is an executive to sponsor them, a deep set culture of elitism and favoritism, meetings where literally all you do is 'worship' someone, and a stack ranking system that has people virtually wear their rating on their neck, and if your rating isn't 'normal' or above, you're completely ignored, all leading to a culture of failing upwards? Amazon is toxic, Microsoft is pure dystopia.
If you think, there is no perfect company out there. But Amazon Jeez!! Find out attrition data for both and let's compare.
Both these options seem like a step down from Microsoft, Google or Facebook would be step up IMHO
It’s super difficult to get into OCI folks from Amazon and MS fail badly during interviews. I have seen lot of folks from MS clearing FB interviews and failing at OCI. If you get an offer from OCI go for it you have lot of freedom and autonomy to make impact
If ur good, come to oci and make it better for the level that you are in. What's ur current TC with base n stock breakup?
Depends on TC and level. Do u already have both offers? Also why not other places like fb/G?
