Hi all, This is my first post on blind. I got an offer for sde2 a team in alexa org under rajat's leadership? The team does something with alexa skills. Wondering if anyone of you have some experience regarding WLB, PIP etc. In these teams? Yoe - 5.5 Current TC - 30 LPA ( not at sabre) Offered TC - 50 LPA ( 32 BASE) Thanks in advance PS : Heard the general sentiment abt amazon from Blind but want to take a risk since i don't have a good company on my resume. If anyone has some specific knowledge of this org, please help me by putting your thoughts in comments below.
I was a Research Scientist there, Rajat was my skip. Avoid. Bunch of PMs with no vision or direction for the product making adhoc changes and asking to evaluate their experiments.
Is WLB okkay.? I just wanna get the brand stamp of 1 year, and prepare for interview with other FANGs and unicorns. I want sometine to prepare fr interviews daily. Not really interested in growth or learning
I was in science team, wlb was fine but zero growth, learning, and total monkey work. My market worth would have gone down if I stayed longer.
Alexa is useless afaik. They build pdts a 100 customers use in a year. Not even alexa pms use alexa for anything other than music
I mean thats good for engineers i guess, who just want to get by and not. Really focused on learning something mew
Career growth will be poor. But yeah maybe less oncall stress
