I was recently invited for an interview for a hardware startup position at Amazon. I think I like the work they are doing based on the description I received from the recruiter. Should I go for it?
Live not heard great things about long term satisfaction at Amazon. I've never been on the hardware team at msft either though but I like msft in general
Live = i have
Do your year or two at Amazon to get the stock-award then jump to Microsoft for a more stable position for 5-10 years. Then retire.
It's 4 years
I'd go for it if you think you can fit in with Amazon's culture. I hear there are working on a lot of interesting things.
Define a hardware startup within Amazon? You mean like a team that's flying under the radar building cool shit in a garage, with a ton of funding?
Yes
I would do it. :) especially if you are young enough to take that risk

Interviewing wouldn't hurt, you've got nothing to lose! Your real dilemma will be if you get the offer and deciding whether to accept it
