Don't join any Alexa team, a lot of toxic managers. AWS teams have very high operations overhead. Search and Music have weak leadership (hard to get promoted), but good WLB.

Heard lot of bad things about music in sf. You may end up working for different time zones and may be 12-14 hrs

Used to work in search. Pretty chill if you’re SDE, great WLB outside of yearly push before prime day, and some teams do pretty cool stuff.

Constant reorg. Bad management of directions, turf wars, no promo
