SDE? In Seattle?

The one I got is SDE in Palo Alto. Do you have any insights?

I had an onsite for SDE in Seattle last week. The team seems to be growing, and have awesome things coming as far as partnerships etc. Seems to be a thriving org.

Alexa shopping sucks. I used to work there. Previous vp Assaf Ronen got fired. It is filled with useless directors. Team has no vision or charter. Anyways it may still be an improvement from where you are coming from

Could you please advice me? I’m currently at Oracle and debating between Microsoft Azure Data and Intelligence working on C# for 170k TC in Redmond and Alexa Shopping in Bay Area for 250k TC.

How is the work life balance, work culture, work and on call? I got offer from Alexa AI and I moved to Alexa Shopping for an offer in Bay Area.

It is not Alexa and not retail. Charter is not clear and this means that the longer is works this way the more probability it will end bad, like Amazon Fresh RIP and restaurants.

Could you please advice on what I should do?
