How is Alexa services team? Any inputs on the team? Location: bay area current TC: 190k Amazon numbers yet to come!
Do you like Alexa?
Yes I have 2 in my home
Did you get an offer? What TC and what yoe? If you got in how is the situation? Maybe I am getting an offer but I have one from salesforce so I'm not sure
run, Big changes coming in next few months in Alexa, it’s a fucking shit show, try to transfer etc Also bit of advice don’t tell anybody your thinking of transferring no matter how nice they seem. Snitches everywhere bc of the cut throat culture. You will get pip immediately to Prevent you from transferring. Message other teams managers directly and ask for a informal interview to see what options are out there. To say you don’t want to risk throwing things off with your team. Other team managers will get the clue and realize you got a bad manager and do a informal interview. Then give you a offer by email etc then do the official process and it’s to late for your manager to try to block you. I’ve even had managers offer to get HR involved when asking for informal without me asking bc they know the deal. Also always keep In mind these big companies aren’t everything. They r good for experience and big company name on your resume. However once you got some experience plenty of other nice companies that pay the same if not more and great work life balance. Also in lot lower cost of living areas with lot cheaper housing allowing you to retire a lot earlier and HAPPIER. Don’t get sucked Into the cult mentality Amazon are FAANG is all there is
Can you please expand on the changes?
"...plenty of other nice companies that pay the same if not more and great work life balance..." Ah never seen or heard of. Which company is this?
