Hello, I have offers from Amazon (SCOT org/ SDE2) and LinkedIn (Advertisment org / Senior). What do you guys think is a better choice? Please give you reasons. TC at both places is similar around 270k. Both are in NYC. YOE - 6 years. I am leaning towards LinkedIn for better WLB but Amazon may provide better learning.
LinkedIn always. No brainer.
Avoid SCOT, too political
How so? Do you have recent anecdotes? Curious about them too.
Amazon NYC is pretty excellent for WLB
Most Amazon remote sites have exceptional culture and good WLB most toxic teams are in Seattle. Maybe it's the bad weather? Lol. The people voting are basing perception of amazon from being toxic from blind without any experience working at amazon
No free food, lack of benefits/wlb, toxic culture, bad managers, low TC...of course the choice is Amazon?
My 390k TC, non toxic culture says otherwise. And i get to work on good tech stacks (aws, kotlin, scala, ml, backend)
Amazon - How’s the WLB for the Herndon location?
I joined LinkedIn from AMazon, if you know the team well you end up with, go to amazon. Far more interesting work to work on. Move fast, great impact. Probably the best dev tools in tech. I didn’t know this until I left amazon. LinkedIn tools are toys compared with amazon.
Do you regret moving to LinkedIn ?
Ads team at LinkedIn has a lot of easy wins but is by no means cutting edge. Probably would pick li in your shoes but keep in mind that blind has a bizarre love affair with li based on anecdotes rather than experience of people actually working there. Imo it’s a relatively mediocre, slow moving company with amazing perks and decently friendly engineers.
