I got an SDE2 offer from Amazon Alexa last week, after talking with my recruiter and a few hiring managers, I need to choose between 3 teams. I'm really having a hard time deciding where I should go, I would appreciate it if anybody can provide me some insights. Alexa Entertainment team (Seattle): The team deals with Prime Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, Live Radio, Audible books, Kindle books, Podcasts, etc. Alexa Unknown Team (Seattle): The hiring manager wouldn't tell me what new product/technology the team has been working on because the product is not known by the public yet, nor he could give me the name of this team. Even though I'm intrigued by the potential of this team but I don't know what I should expect at work if I did join it. Lab126 (Bay Area): Mainly deal with data processing using Spark and EMR. The hiring manager seemed super nice, gave me a very positive vibe. Please give me some advice, much appreciated! #amazon #alexa #sde
Go with the manager who vibed with your needs. Follow up with them if there are questions you forgot to ask.
Thank you for the advice! The only thing holding me back is the overall reputation of Lab126...kinda discouraging tbh
I thought lab126 has good reputation, No ?
What team did you go with op?
