Hi, Amazon AWS vs Google Android ( team matching) . No TC conversation started yet. MS in CS Yeo: 4 Which company is best in terms of learning, experience ,TC , WLB, pros and cons? How to delay Amazon to Google timeline? Amazon seems very fast , google not fast as amazon. How to match both timeline? How to handle both offer to our advantage in terms of TC? Please provide your valuable information. Please provide rsu stock or bonus comparison between both companies too
Google is leagues above amazon but so is the bar. Good luck! Edit so others can see: ===Google=== ✅Much better TC and amazing vesting schedule. You get stock vests every year. ✅Better benefits like food and medical, 401k ✅ No bullshit “fragility” principle which Amazon uses to cheap out on employes ✅ Nicer management and you won’t get Pipped (Amazon has a thing called a PIP which gives managers an excuse to fire you. ✅ Smarter people (Amazon hires anyone half decent tbh. I came to my interview after drinking 2 margaritas and I passed easily. Would have gotten destroyed at google) 🚫 Much harder to get in compared to Amazon 🚫 Often won’t pay high unless you match an offer ===Amazon === ✅ lower bar so easier to get in. As I said, I was basically drunk in my interview and got in. ✅ Easy to transfer to different orgs and teams but the pay doesn’t go up much when you do. 🚫 Horrible vesting schedule. 5% vest in year 1, 15% year 2, 20% in year 3 and 4. Good luck getting more stocks after year 4. 🚫 annoying frugality principle which let’s them be cheap. I had to request an ergonomic desk so many times before I got it approved. 🚫 no free food, only free bananas. 🚫 management is very toxic and arrogant. 🚫 many unhappy employees 🚫 promotions are very random and difficult.
@chivalryAF you are in amazon and recommending google over amazon . Please provide reasons
Thats true , Amazon sucks!
Impact of Android vs AWS seems rather insignificant in my opinion. If I had to choose, I would either choose AWS or go with Google and try to switch ASAP.
All I’m saying is why work on something that is already well established such as Android. You will most likely get thrown into something along the lines of kernel optimizations or working on spinning out a new flavor/distro, whereas at AWS you will actually get the taste of scale from the de facto cloud provider for the Fortune 500. I’m not belittling the feat that Google and the Android team has accomplished. I’m simply stating my opinion.
Think about tc and wlb . I heard there is no or limited pto at amazon also it depends how many days hours you need to work each week
@bingming . Google owns pixel . So there will be great opportunity too. Right? But agree amazon owns nearly 30% cloud
Google.
Please provide pros and cons
Google pros. Everyone is pretty spoiled. Google cons. Everyone is pretty spoiled. Doesn't matter what your job is, you move Protos Amazon pros. People that have survived there are pretty effective. Amazon cons. Everyday is day one, and people that have survived there may not be the kinds of people you really want to work with. AWS is often said to be held together by rotations of underexperienced people on pager duty eagerly waiting for their rotation to finish. You are how they plan to pay for the tech debt.
Is this even a question worth asking? Go to Google.
Please provide pros and cons
You are in amazon , but recommending google . Any specific reason
Since when do people start to compare Amazon to Google? Of course no brainer Google.
Thanks for your post. Any reason for recommending google over amazon? You are in amazon
Google better at everything. You can always easily internally transfer.
@ncaw33 thanks for your post. Please can you elaborate on this
Wlb better , snacks, free food, nice bus benefits, better reputation and bar, high internal mobility - amazon will need reinterview. Open culture.
Amazon of course. Why do you even have to ask.
Thank you for the post. Please provide reasons
Google - much higher TC for the same level - awesome wlb - even vesting schedule, vesting every month - annual bonus, 15% for level 4,5 - annual refreshers - stock growth doesn't impact refreshers - there is no target TC - free breakfast, lunch, dinner, gyms, swimming pool, bowling alley, rock climbing wall, perks, perks, perks - a shuttle system that rivals VTA - 9k 401k matching - no BS LPs - no Kool Aid drinking sdms Amazon - bananas
