palo alto i heard the wlb is not good. how terrible would it be if i join this team? do you suggest i look elsewhere? alexa ?
After SAP, wlb at Amazon will torture you 😛
Haha true
Redshift is f’ed up. They lost their leadership in succession within 6 months (pm lead then vp then GM). Stay away.
Can you please tell me a little more? My options are either redshift or Alexa auto right now
Yes. Stay away from redshift
Any other good teams in Bay Area?
Redshift folks work 14-16 hrs per day and are always on gun point. Also, they are unable to compete with other players in their area, so it’s not a safe place to be. If the leadership quickly gets out in succession, that’s not a good sign.
Any idea about the elasticsearch team in Bay Area?
Did you join? How did it go?
OP did you join Redshift? How’s your experience?
I didn’t. I heard that they have had a mass exodus over the last year or so, with their VP, GM, engineering directors and PMs leaving with a span of six months. Also, looks like their technology is outdated so not much future for it.
Nope, tech is not outdated.
Look at Azure, Snowflake and BigQuery. Redshift is bleeding customers because of their ancient architecture. No separation of compute and storage. Spectrum is a joke too!!
