I’m relatively new to Blind, but as far as I know, doesn’t Apple pay a lot less for new grad compared to Amazon (150k in cupertino vs 130k in seattle, not including sign on)? After taxes plus an additional 12k/year in cupertino housing, doesn’t the amazon worker take home a lot more?

1. Pay: Apple pays competitive to G/Fb (at least for senior levels), but Amazon is way behind.
2. Wlb at Apple is amazing for SWE (horrible for hardware folks though).
3. Amazon has a lot of awful managers (non-technical, non-professional) who don't have skills to buffer their reports, let alone helping their reports grow.
4. Amazon in general is very frugal in every aspect (no perks, no annual refreshers, etc.)
5. You don't feel you're valued at all at Amazon, while at Apple it's completely different.
P.S. I'm not saying Apple is the ultimate place, but in comparison to Amazon it's way better.
Amazon doesn't even have annual performance bonus.
Their vesting policy is crazy - 5%, 15%, 40%, 40%
