CapOne -> AWS/AMZN or vice-versa

Im wondering what the difference is like re: engineering culture, expectations, etc. I’m curious to hear from people who have actually experienced both. YOE 2.5 / TC $120ish

Keep your heart at Capital one and take your body to Amazon!

Have you been at both? I’m looking for perspective on what the actual difference is day to day. I understand that overall the bar is higher and more is expected.

Capital One is like taking it in the rear over and over again with the same dick. Whereas Amazon is like taking it in the rear over and over again with different dicks.

Engineering culture: Amazon has one. Capital one's consists of saying they have one and screeching empty memes like "You build it; you own it" Expectations: Amazon (particularly AWS) expects you to DELIVER RESULTS. Nobody gives a fuck if you don't show up until 10:30 Capital One expects to see you at your desk from 9 to 5 like a good little boy and doesn't care if you only know how to drool all over your keyboard (e.g. CODA)
