New to the Blind community and don't understand how Amazon has its place in the acronym. The other 4 seem like top tier places. Amazon seems like it pays less, has worse benefits, bad wlb, and poor work culture. The hiring bar seems to have decreased sharply in the last few years as well. How does it earn its place among the top tier? Stock price?
Who cares? Keep calm and leetcode.
ok Salesforce
Not saying Salesforce is up there either. We don't even pretend to be
what level did you interview for when you got your Amazon offer?
The same questions could be applied to Apple. Apple reminds me of IBM (in the sense of traditional business, slow moving), but with more money.

You need to understand what FAANG acronym stands for before making random claims on blind. Might I suggest using google ๐
There will soon be a D for DuckDuckGo...NAFAD?
Well how about the Blind FANGMULA...this is even more stupid.
The irony of OP saying Amazon isnt FANG when OP doesnt even know why its called FANG in the first place
FAANG companies are not the best companies
Yes, FAANG is an investor term. These companies collectively have given the best returns, good for you if you had invested in them. But it doesn't mean anything to you with respect to quality of workplace or benefits as an employee of these companies.

I think Netflix isnโt so great either? Idk
From what I understand, Netflix pays great and has strong engineering principles although people burnout and get hired/fired fairly quickly.
All I ever heard from Netflix is pip. Oh. Also most of the movie made by Netflix sucks ๐๐๐๐๐๐
