Points of concern
1. WLB. Amazon has stupid pager and on call duty. Zoom seems like I’ll be working with teams out in China
2. Pip Culture: self explanatory at Amazon, idk about Zoom
3. Green card policy: idk
4. Stock prospect: Will Amazon go even higher? Will Zoom bust after pandemic?
5. Is this the right level for new PhD grad?
Thanks in advance
