I always wonder about this. The TC for these places are quite similar. Maybe only difference in free food? So, what’s the community’s obsession with G and FB being better tech companies?

Go woke, go broke: Google fires 28 employees involved in pro-Hamas protest
They are much much much cooler, c’mon!
Amazon treats employees like shit, that’s the main difference
TC is not similar
Hiring bar... I guess?
To be blunt: lack of perks. That’s about it. The hiring bar might be lower, but we PIP the shit out of our employees, so the deadbeats get removed quickly.
Amazon is very customer centric and give high return for shareholder. Caring employee? It’s never been considered in any LP.
The bonus distribution of 5/15/40/40 or something like that makes the WLB issue worse
How so?
You are obligated to stay there for 2+ years which encourages ppl who want to screw you. They know it would be difficult for you to leave even if conditions are bad
Amazon has more employees who talk shit about it than Google or Facebook on here. Given our size, it shouldn’t come as a surprise but hearing it frequently enough causes the rest to believe the worst. And that shit talk is a function of lack of perks and the sheer amount with PIP from our relatively lower bar. Although I argue we don’t under-employ as much as our peers.
Um... Less prestigious? In which universe?
You don't believe Amazon is less prestigious than G/FB?
Amazon is not less prestige at all. I see fb and google people joining amazon all the time and the traffic flows other way as well and becoming high performers at fb n g
