I'm currently in interviewing process with Amazon. I'm sure that the recruiter is working with specific team(s) at Amazon. With hope I will get an offer eventually, however I don't want to risk going to a team using legacy technologies or it has awful wlb. And hence my question, What teams are good or trending now at Amazon that I can request the recruiter about them if possible? Thanks.

Avoid retail at all costs, it's a cluster fuck of technology that hangs together by smoke and mirrors, takes years to get even simple things done because it has to have cooperation from dozens of teams and it's a top-down driven bureaucratic nightmare. AWS is much better both technology wise and has teams that are actually autonomous - some can have higher operational load (eg Dynamo/S3) but the newer services should be fine.

AWS AI!
lol its Amazon none! Go to increase your tc and then leave for better companies!
...like Microsoft? 😆
Any of the Amazon subsidiaries (Twitch, IMDb, Audible, etc) Feels like you’re working for Amazon (same network, buildings, pay, benefits) but it also feels like a small company/start-up at the same time.
Can you interview with (each of) the subsidiaries *and* and a team at Amazon itself? I heard you can do both Audible/Amazon onsites but I heard not for IMDb.
Recruiter is tied with specific org. Chances are you're already in the pool for a given org and won't be recycled or passed around to different orgs. IE: if you start with Ops, you won't get Alexa; or if you're in Consumer, you won't get Sustainability.
That's why I'm asking of team recommendations so I don't sink in a swamp
what kind of teams are under consumer?

Why this team? Would you slightly elaborate?
Work load is manageable. Good projects. Have good culture. Good promotion cycle. Enough recognition. And the team is enough stable that it won’t dissolve
