I want to put things into perspective here. I'm a new grad coming out of school and going to Amazon for my first ever real job.
Lots of flack and hate gets thrown around blind about various random things at these companies. But really, how prestigious is it to be working for them? If you look at the big picture, how much of the industry is even represented by people who work for the big4? Aren't we a very specific group of the best engineers making $$$? And do we tend to take this for granted sometimes?
Want to see the real deal?

Coworkers will get new gigs here and there and suddenly some of them will see your good work and open doors and opportunities because they will fight to have you on their team at whatever place they move too. In a few years of good work you'll have open doors everywhere.
My advice is to not expect any extra kudos from working at Amazon. Honestly, it's not a big achievement getting hired at any of these companies anymore. Find ways to differentiate yourself if you want prestige.
