Is Amazon a good place to start of one’s career as an SDE?

What do you guys think? What factors (team, manager, location, etc) are really important?

Sure, Amazon will definitely put your name on the map. Among all different teams, I would only join AWS and suffer while I’m learning a ton!!

By learning, do u mean the constant fire fighting that goes on ?

Yes, and also dealing with the scale that no where else you can find

Yes. Owning a tier 1 service and working at HQ in Seattle is an excellent way to start a career.

New grads join amazon only if they can’t get into google, Facebook, Airbnb, etc

I’m not sure how this really helps. I started my career at Microsoft and was told the same thing, and yes, I couldn’t get into Google (back in 2012). But who cares?!! It’s actually a good thing because you can always look for next company while starting at FB would spoiled you!!!
