Hello, I just cleared Amazon SDE 3 interviews for Vancouver, and the next step is team selection. The recruiter has sent below list: Alexa, AWS, Cloud, Transport & Logistics, Consumer & Retail, Payments, Kinesis Data Streaming. Please help me selecting the team? which team will be the best to start at Amazon?
TC or....?
TC will be discussed after I choose the team
I have heard bad reviews about Alexa, Transport and Payments team ranging for uninteresting work to work politics. If you don't mind handling high ops issues, then go for AWS team.
There are bunch of positions in different AWS teams and looking interesting to me. How high is ops issues? You need to spend nights? AWS teams having positions are S3, Observability, MQ, Auto scaling, Cognito, In memory storages and Kinesis.
Unfortunately, you have to join and see for yourself. I don't have numbers on each team but expect to be paged at night during oncall week. I have heard good work in Auto scaling, S3 index and Elastic Cache data plane but don't know about others.
Observability is fun if you’re a data person

I'm not in Vancouver, but Payments is shit anywhere. People are hired only to do ops, not development. Others might disagree, but that's my opinion
