Blind, what’re you opinions on being an SWE generally at these two companies? Which company is overall better, factoring in perks, benefits, comp, WLB, etc?
Microsoft is much better. Also, you're given room to grow. Culture is much better too
Not too long ago, Amazonians were making history. Now, both companies are the same. High revenue, low innovation, low growth. Great choices for anyone that wants predictable income and experience.
Both companies are …
Are we doing fill-in-the-blank? My guess is "publicly traded corporations"? What do I win?
SWE’s at Amazon are much more faster, nimble, ferocious….trained killers
Microsoft is better, no doubt.
Microsoft was expected to win as Amazonians are working on weekends as well. So they don't have time to check Blind and vote.
Can confirm only time to write this comment but not vote sev2 just paged bye not joking
Bold of you to assume I don't check Blind when code is compiling and queries are running
There are no perks, additional benefits or WLB at Amazon.
How is this even a question lol
Because some teams/orgs in Microsoft are as bad as Amazon. Source: my 3 years in Azure.
Gotcha. I’ve heard all Cloud teams have bad WLB, but I thought Microsoft is better when it comes to PIP right?
Forget abt pay and wlb in MS. The good thing is there are more smart folks in MS than Amzn. Innovative and smart to make u work more.

Microsoft has become Amazon without the pay. Might as well get the bag and go to Amazon.
Disagree. I don’t think we live under the fear of getting PIPed
Agree with joe. PIP is considered pretty extreme by HR in Microsoft. It's not something that's just thrown around for the sake of it
