I got an offer from them last year when I joined Microsoft (ex-Amazon here). They are heavily investing into Video Streaming platform. They use Node, Angular and JavaScript. Lots of opportunity to grow. It's not a tech company and so average talent is lower than MSFT/Amazon. Culture seemed laid back and chilled. They have no on-calls for engineers, and have separate operations Team responsible for it. My position was Staff and pay was $210k TC ($180k base + sign on for 2 yrs). They offer no stocks and their pay is entirely cash. Bonus target was 30% which was pretty nice.
I've met a few engineers there, you'll definitely shine there but feel like you're picking berries.
Feel the same. Was just curious as I saw bunch of ex-amazon working there.
What's your experience?
2 yrs as SDE-2. 4 yrs total in amazon from graduation.
To be honest those seem to be some shitty step downs....have you considered some of the local startups with potential breaktrough trajectories? e.g: Convoy
I interviewed at Time Seattle late last year. My takeaway was technically immature folks (washed/managed-out ex-Amazon) with a lack of real leadership. The position I interviewed for was a lead SDE where a large part of the role would be leading a remote team in India. I passed on the opportunity before getting an offer. Pay quoted to me (from third-party recruiter) was 160 base.
Thanks for sharing. Any idea on TC?
