Got approached by recruiter and trying to setup interview for MTS-1 position (backend role). Would love to know more about company culture and if it's worth joining? Would like to hear thoughts from current employees (WLB, pay, tech stack, etc..)

    MTS 1 with 3 yoe? Good that I decided to jump the ship instead of waiting to get promoted.

    I was in eBay before starting at Amazon. I can say that the culture is quite rich. I miss my colleagues even today. But Amazon comp makes up for it 😋. During my time, my colleagues used to complain about poor tech stack. After coming to Amazon and I see my friends working at Google, I would say the technology is still relevant. eBay uses a lot of tech available openly like Jenkins and Nexus Repo (they switched to JFrog in Q4 21) for maintaining version sets, builds and pipelines, GitHub instead of Amazon’s in-house CodeBrowser and GitFarm. eBay’s Altus (in house) is also comparable to Amazon Apollo + Pipelines. The underlying principles will be the same. What I noticed is different at Amazon is that processes are clearly defined and many things are documented (I know people on Blind may not agree but I have seen documents at eBay and they are not as rich as the one we have here).

    eBay is so great. Best culture. They have a company value that “people are good”, so you assume best intentions of coworkers etc. I really loved the culture during my time there

    MTS at 3 YOE? Isn’t it supposed to be a staff engineers equivalent?
