Folks need some help deciding between these 2 companies. Soft spoken introvert offered senior analyst (l6) roles in both. Which one would you recommend?
Amazon comp is better but reading the wlb stories don't know if faang worth it.
Cvs health has more exciting work. Hear the wlb is pretty much the same from a friend. Comp is less.
Need my gc done too. Cvs has offered. Dunno about amazon. Any advice or suggestions?

  • Ask amazon about gc and if they agree, amazon wins

      Bad advise. Getting Amazon on the resume can wait if a person needs to prioritize GC. You don't wanna be living under the stress for 2 years thinking what's gonna happen.

      I would advise prioritizing GC stability/potential WLB over Compensation or any sort of suggested resume boost.
      People would argue that things are team specific @ Amazon and can turn out to be good. Sure. But do you wanna leave that to chance?

    • I advised to check on gc first. If amazon agrees, then get that 2 years of experience. I guess you only read the second comment.

    Op- You think CVS could be problematic from GC perspective? In the post, you mentioned CVS offered, but you don't know abt Amazon. Here you are saying its stingy AT CVS.

    You need to clarify with the CVS HR/Hiring manager, what the time lines for when they can start the process. Let them know you would prefer that it starts immediately on joining.

      I didn't join cvs. Went to the 4th round of interview and asked the director about the gc too. He was pretty dodgy. Like we can look into it after 6 months and such.. Then got an email saying they hired an internal candidate.

  • Cvs, I'd bet amazon comp isn't better if you include benefits and 401k vest. You like the work at cvs too, no brainer imo

  • CVS changed their policy around GCs about a year ago. It can happen still, but extremely hard to get around the policy.
