I've had couple Amazon recruiters reach out on LinkedIn asking to apply. But I hear working at Amazon is kindaa stressful and 10% low perfomers get asked to leave. Is this accurate? Also expecting an offer from Splunk. I kindaa like Splunk pay/culture compared to Amazon. Thoughts? WWYD? Location: SF YOE 2 Current TC 180k
You’re soo right in your thoughts. Been hearing good things about the tech at Splunk. At Amazon everyone’s fixing what someone else broke . So..
Which looks good on resume for future?
If you get splunk I'd do that instead. Their engineering and culture is really good imo. What team at Amazon?
Alexa
Take splunk and have a good life my man/woman
Alexa is very toxic. They’re in a race to win the smart speaker category, and they hired too many people, so you’re either overworked or doing nothing. Don’t do it.
If you would like to work 70hrs a week and never see your family...then yes you should go!
Wondering the same thing... been getting hit up by a lot of recruiters on LinkedIn too and might take up speaking to one.. but everyone here just vents about the culture being painful lol
What are you hoping to get from working at Amazon that you aren't getting from your current company? Are those things worth everything that goes with working at Amazon?
My current comany sucks bug time, trying to get out of here ASAP. No desk, horrible food(Not free), too much politics, managers think they're wayyy better than you because they're a MANAGER
Well you’ll get a desk and good managers (imo). Still won’t get free food
I just interviewed a month ago and got an offer. The offer was incredibly frugal and I turbed it down, but I'm using it to negotiate raise and promotion at my current company.

Interview. If you get an offer you can use it for negotiation.
