Are all teams in Amazon work horses or are there teams that are good with WLB?

Asking as I have a few companies to choose from including another FAANG, but Amazon pays significantly higher.

    They pay higher because you probably won't last long. Most people leave before 2 years are up.

    My previous two teams were like the horror stories. Finally found a super chill team. No pressure, loose deadlines rarely any pages. Work maybe 4-5 hours a day. Thank God for the generous internal transfer policies.

    Depends on team as lame as that sounds. For the team I'm on currently it's pretty disorganized at the moment And we're starting a new project with 4 new hires on a 7 man team, but with that being said if you have experience with Agile processes and know how to game the system you can have some time to yourself. Basically like any other company, work hard (not saying to over work just saying deliver some results), "earn trust", and then try to coast when possible. IDK WTF the ideal team would be at Amazon but so far I've made contributions on 2 projects and 1 away team project so I feel like I'm doing enough to earn my wages. Only down side is there's isn't a lot of mentorship which isn't terrible since I had 3 YOE pervious to Amazon, but still not ideal.
