Purely from a brand perspective (for PMs looking to build up their resume), is Amazon a bigger brand name than Microsoft? A related question: working for Alexa vs working for Skype. Which one is looked at as more prestigious?
It's about the same.
Amazon is the better one for the long term. Amazon is rising fast, Microsoft is falling slowly
Thanks guys. Would the equation change should I get a level up?
Kinda depends a lot on which team you join.
I don't think people actually read that you're going to Skype - I didn't before replying. Stay the fuck away from Skype nowadays.
I seriously don't understand these kind of posts looking for brand/ prestige. Just look for a job you might like,contribute more!! End of the day/future it's not the brand/prestige that's going to matter, only your work speaks.
A rising tide lifts all boats
What's wrong with Skype? Is it the people or the product?
Both
I think Microsoft brand is slightly better. But Skype is dead, or established at best. Alexa is a striving product.
