Currently at Amazon, been here since i graduated and hate my life. Work 10 hours a day and like hard core work during those hours. I have been interviewing and every place i interview, even random no name companies say stuff like we are a fast paced company and have a lot of work to do. this makes it a turn off and i am having trouble finding a place where i can just work like 40 hours low pressure and nice teammates. How can i find this. is there any place better than amazon(wlb wise. i dont care about TC) or is the entire tech industry this demanding?
Big and old companies like Cisco, Intel, IBM...
Microsoft (non azure) Google
This unfortunately is a trend increasing by the day for most of the last decade. There are a few large companies remaining where there is some semblance of WLB, but one has to be very careful at picking a team and work profile otherwise you'll be unemployeable before you know it. Adobe, Microsoft, LinkedIn, ServiceNow, Intel, Salesforce, VMWare are some options. Learn to be tolerant towards ineptitude before you switch. Most people who work at these places are simply not qualified enough to be at a "better" place. This includes your boss and their boss and theirs.

Transfer to Twitch. There are teams like that. I bet even within Amazon there are teams like that. Just ask around which teams are good but keep to normal hours
Oh if you don’t care about TC like Amazon is offering... You can come to Barclays.. perfect WLB and decent TC. One incident- I was studying in one meeting room some days back and at 6:30 pm I heard conversation(by mistake) outside of that meeting room, one manager was asking his teammate, not to stay in office after 6. Strict warning. You can finish your work after reaching at your place but don’t stay at office. We have this type of environment.
Save electricity bill ?
🤣 yeah probably.... but we do care about electricity than you guys. I am in Seattle since 2 days and saw many Amazon building has their lights on till 10 pm...
